The difference between two positive integers is 5. If the smaller is added to the square of the larger, the sum is 105. Find the integers.
-----------------------------
Equations:
x - y = 5
y + x^2 = 105
-----
Substitute for "y" and solve for "x":
y = x-5
---
x-5 + x^2 = 105
x^2 +x -110 = 0
-------
(x+11)(x-10) = 0
---
Positive solution:
x = 10
---
Since y = x-5, y = 5
----------------------
