\"x%2By=25\" \"the sum of two positive integers is 25\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2By%5E2=275\" \"The difference of their squares is 275\"
\n" ); document.write( "id use the elimination method\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=25\" = \"x%5E2%2By%5E2=25%5E2\" = \"x%5E2%2By%5E2=625\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2By%5E2=275\"
\n" ); document.write( "well doesnt come out well at all so i did guess and check and 12&13,11&14,10&15,9&16,dont work and 17^2 by itself is more than 275 so there is no answer since they are looking for integers and not decimals\r
