Question

Please if able explain the following example in detail, I dont get the substitution and am very confused.

Result
Proof
Let x = Z. If 2 | (x² − 1), then 4 | (x² − 1).
-
Assume that 2 | (x² − 1). So x². - 1 = 2y for some integer y. Thus, x² = 2y + 1 is an
odd integer. It then follows by Theorem 3.12 that x too is odd. Hence, x = 2z + 1 for
some integer z. Then
x² − 1 = (2z + 1)² − 1 = (4z² + 4z + 1) − 1 = 4z² + 4z = 4(z² + z).
Since z² + z is an integer, 4 | (x² − 1).
