let x be the side of the first square
y be the side of the second square
and
sub x = 10 + y in (1)
as y can't be in negative
∴ The Sides of the squares are 20 and 10

Answer:
let x be the side of the first square
y be the side of the second square
x² + y² = 500 ------1x²+1y²=500−−−−−−1
and
4x - 4y = 40
= > x - y = 10
= > x = 10 + y
sub x = 10 + y in (1)
(10 + y)² + y² = 500
= > 100 + 20y + y² + y² = 500
= > 2y² +20y + 100 - 500 = 0
= > 2y² + 20y - 400 = 0
= > y² + 10y - 200 = 0
= > {y}^{2} - 10y + 20y - 200 = 0
= > y(y - 10) + 20(y - 10) = 0
= > (y + 20)(y - 10) = 0=>
as y can't be in negative
x = 10 + y
= > x = 10 + 10
= > x = 20
∴ The Sides of the squares are 20 and 10
