Let the smaller number be n. The larger number will then be n + 2.
Since the sum of the squares of these two numbers is 394, we can write:
n^2 + (n + 2)^2 = 394
=> n^2 + n^2 + 4n + 4 - 394 = 0
=> 2n^2 + 4n -390 = 0
=> n^2 + 2n - 195 = 0
=> (n + 15)(n - 13) = 0
=> (n + 15) = 0, or (n - 13) = 0
=> n = -15 , or n = 13
Since n is a natural (non-negative) number only n = 13 is valid.
Therefore, the two numbers are 13 and 15 (= 13 +2), and their sum is 13 + 15 = 28.
Good luck!
