Given
Sum of two numbers is 5 and difference of their square is 5
To Find
difference of the number
Let us assume that the first number be 'x'
the second number be 'y'
According to the question
Sum of two numbers then equation for it :x+y=5
Difference of their square is 5 then equation =x²-y²=5
x+y=5
y=5-x__(1)
Now , put y value in x²-y²=5
=>x²-(5-x)²=5
=>x²-[(5)²+x²-2(5)(x)]=5
=>x²-25-x²+10x=5
=>-25+10x=5
=>10x=25+5
=>10x=30
x=3
y=5-x=5-3=2
∴X=3 & y=2
So,the difference between the number is 3-2 =1 which is 1 .

Answer:
Let the two numbers be X and y
Given that sum of two number is 5.
-->x+y=5
Given that difference of their square is 5.
We know that a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
-->(x+y)(x-y)=5
-->(5)(x-y)=5
-->(x-y) =1
Therefore the difference of number is 1
