You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let n be the smaller number.
\n" ); document.write( "Then the larger number is \"n%2B5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are given
\n" ); document.write( "\"n%5E2+%2B+%28n%2B5%29%5E2+=+5n%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"n%5E2+%2B+n%5E2+%2B+10n+%2B+25+=+5n%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+3n%5E2+-+10n+-+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+%283n+%2B+5%29%28n-5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "So either \"3n%2B5=0\" or \"n-5=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "so n is either \"-5%2F3\" or \"5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check value for n works. 5 does. does -5/3?
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
