Given,
x+y=8,
xy=15.
x-y=?
we know that, (a-b)² = (a+b)²-4ab
(x-y)²=(x+y)²-4xy
=8²-4(15)
=64-60
=4
(x-y)²=4
x-y=√4
=2

x+y =8 ----(1)
xy = 15 ---(2)
(x-y) ² = (x+y)² -4xy
= 8² - 4* 15
= 64 -60
=4
(x-y) = + or - √4
= 2 or -2
xy = 15 ---(2)
(x-y) ² = (x+y)² -4xy
= 8² - 4* 15
= 64 -60
=4
(x-y) = + or - √4
= 2 or -2
