the tens digit of a two digit number is 2 less than the units digit. The difference between the squares of the digits is 32. What is the number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x be in the ten's place and y be in the units place\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=y-2
\n" ); document.write( "x-y =-2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Second condition\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2-y^2 =32
\n" ); document.write( "(x+y)(x-y) =32
\n" ); document.write( "plug in (x-y)
\n" ); document.write( "(x+y)(-2) = 32\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x+y) = (32/-2)=-16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "x-y=-02
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=-16
\n" ); document.write( "Add the equations
\n" ); document.write( "2x=-18
\n" ); document.write( "x=-9
\n" ); document.write( "therefore y =-7\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Number is -97 \r
