Answer:
The required numbers are 6and 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X and y be the numbers required then according to the question
x+y=10 ......................(1)
and (x^2)-(y^2)=20....... ..(2)
Now we know that
(a^2)-(b^2)=(a+b)(a-b)
From above (1) and( 2)
20=10(x-y)
x-y=2...................(3)
Adding (1) and (3)
x+y+x-y=10+2
2x=12
x=6
Substituting X in (1)
Y=10-6=4
Therefore the required numbers are 6 and 4.
