I hate to keep asking for help, but I really need it and I really appreciate it!
x^2 - y^2 = (x + y) (x - y)
We need to have (52)(48)
It's obvious that x must be < 52....because,if not, ...... y is positive.... and adding them together would produce more than 52
So x must either be 50 or 48
Notice that if x = 50 and y = 2, we have
(50 + 2) (50 - 2) =
(52) (48) !!!!
