Answer:
The integers are 7 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
if you put x as smaller number and y as bigger number you can write two equations:
x+y^2=52 and y-4=x
In the first polynomial, y can either equal 7 or -8, but the number has to be positive, so it's 7
y-4 to get x, plug 7 in and you get x=3
y=7 and x=3
Answer:
7 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We will let x equal the larger one
y will be the smaller one
We can write the two equations
x-y=4
y+x²=52
We will solve this through substitution
we will take the first equation and add y to moth sides
x=4+y
we then substitute this into our second equation
y+(4+y)²=52
distribute the square
y+8y+y²+16=52
y²+9y-36=0
Factor this
(y-3)(y+12)=0
Which means that y is either 3 or -12 but because it said that both numbers are positive we can reject the negative 12 (which means that y is 3)
Plug in y=3 into our first equation
x-3=4
x=7
