You can cancel :) In the second case, a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b) But (a-b)^2 ≠(a-b)(a-b) because you are applying exponent before parentheses (a+b) = (a-b) defies logic! Think PEMDAS! For example, (5-3)^2 = 2^2 (Parentheses) = 4 (Followed by Exponent) Same as, 5^2 - 2*5*3 + 3^2 = 25 (E) - 30 (M) + 9 (E...

Twice as = 2 x
Half of = 0.5 x
Twice refers to double or two times. 'Twice as small' cannot mean logic because it is an oxymoron like 'deafening silence'. The right usage for 'inverse of twice' would be 'half of' or 'halved'
So (A) is twice as far as (B)
(B) is half as far as (A)
