In a manufacturing design layout, the area of a specialized gasket is represented by the expression ${}144x^2 - 49y^2$. To simplify the design process for a production mold, you need to factor this expression using the difference of squares pattern. Match each part of the factoring process to its corresponding mathematical expression.

In a manufacturing facility, a quality control technician uses the expression ${}144x^2 - 49y^2$ to represent the area of a specialized mounting plate. To confirm the plate's dimensions, the technician needs to identify the factored form of this expression using the difference of squares pattern. Which of the following is the correct factorization?

A construction estimator is simplifying an area calculation represented by the expression ${}144x^2 - 49y^2$ to determine the dimensions of a workspace. True or False: When using the pattern $a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)$ to factor this expression, the value of $a$ is correctly identified as ${}12x$.

A manufacturing technician is reviewing a safety specification that uses the expression ${}144x^2 - 49y^2$ to represent the required clearance area for a machine. To simplify the documentation, the technician needs to factor this expression using the difference of squares pattern. Arrange the following steps in the correct order to complete the factorization.
