The difference between two positive integers is 4. If the smaller is added to the square of the larger, the sum is 52. Find the integers.

The integers are 7 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

if you put x as smaller number and y as bigger number you can write two equations:

x+y^2=52 and y-4=x

In the first polynomial, y can either equal 7 or -8, but the number has to be positive, so it's 7

y-4 to get x, plug 7 in and you get x=3

y=7 and x=3

7 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We will let x equal the larger one

y will be the smaller one

We can write the two equations

x-y=4

y+x²=52

We will solve this through substitution

we will take the first equation and add y to moth sides

x=4+y

we then substitute this into our second equation

y+(4+y)²=52

distribute the square

y+8y+y²+16=52

y²+9y-36=0

Factor this

(y-3)(y+12)=0

Which means that y is either 3 or -12 but because it said that both numbers are positive we can reject the negative 12 (which means that y is 3)

Plug in y=3 into our first equation

x-3=4

x=7
