n^2 - n + n - 1
The basic answer is that you cross-multiply the values in each factor:
NASCAR hopeful for deserved return to Mexico City in 2026; will INDYCAR join? - FOX Sports
n^2 - 1
Move the nub up to the top:
(n - 1)(n + 1)
I'm British and I hate my glasses. Are prescription glasses better in New York City?
So, that’s a rectangle with sides 2 and 4.

If you cut off the end of that rectangle, you make it smaller, 2 * 3 and a separate nub of size 1 * 2
Why are Trump's and Khan's experiences with authorities in the US and Pakistan similar?
And you are left with almost a square. One less than the square of side n.
The more direct answer is to look at a rectangle with sides of n + 1 and n - 1, let’s go with n = 2
