The difference of two numbers is 7 and the sum of their squares is 137.
Find the numbers.
(x-y)=7
(x-y)^2=49
x^2+y^2= 137
(x-y)^2+2xy = 137
7^2+2xy=137
2xy= 137-49
2xy=88
xy=44
x-y=7
x=44/y
44/y -y = 7
44-y^2= 7y
y^2+7y-44=0
y^2+11y-4y-44=0
y(y+11)-4(y+11)=0
(y+11)(y-4)=0
y=-11 OR 4
x-y=7
if y=-11
x+11=7
x=-4
(-11, -4)
if y=4
x=11
(11,4)

The sum of two numbers is 8; the square of the first minus twice the
square of the second equals 7. Find them.
one number be x
other number = (8-x)
x^2-2(8-x)^2=7
x^2-2(64-16x+x^2)=7
x^2-128+32x-2x^2=7
-x^2+32x-135=0
x^2-32x+135=0
x^2-27x-5x+135=0
x(x-27)-5(x-27)=0
(x-27)(x-5)=0
x=5 OR 27
xnot equal to 27
x= 5

Find two numbers that differ by 8 and whose product is 273.
x & 8+x
x(8+x)=273
8x+x^2=273
x^2+8x -273=0
x^2+21x-13x-273=0
x(x+21)-13(x+21)=0
(x+21)(x-13)=0
x=-21 OR 13
