Prove using mathematical induction that $x^{2n} - y^{2n}$ is divisible by $x+y$ Prove using mathematical induction that 
 $(x^{2n} - y^{2n})$ is divisible by $(x+y)$.
Step 1: Proving that the equation is true for $n=1 $
$(x^{2\cdot 1} - y^{2\cdot 1})$ is divisible by $(x+y)$ 
Step 2: Taking $n=k$
$(x^{2k} - y^{2k})$ is divisible by $(x+y)$
Step 3: proving that the above equation is also true for $(k+1)$
$(x^{2k+2} - y^{2k+2})$ is divisible by $(x+y)$.
Can anyone assist me what would be the next step? Thank You in advance!

Hint: Rewrite:
$$x^{2k+2}-y^{2k+2}=(x^{2k+2}-y^{2k}x^2)+(y^{2k}x^2-y^{2k+2})=x^2(x^{2k}-y^{2k})+y^{2k}(x^2-y^2).$$
Added: Note it can be proved without induction:
$$x^{2n}-y^{2n}=(x^2)^n-(y^2)^n=(x^2-y^2)(x^{2(n-1)}+x^{2(n-2)}y^2+\dots+x^2y^{2(n-2)}+y^{2(n-1)}),$$
and the first factor is divisible by $x+y$.
