One positive integer is 3 less than twice another. The sum of their squares is 954. Find the integers
x = integer
x = 2y -3
x + y = 954
(2y-3) 2 + y 2 = 954
4y^2 -12y+9 + y^2 - 954 = 0
5 y^2 -12y - 945 = 0
Then use Quadratic Formula a = 5 b = -12 c = -945
y = 15 then x = 2y-3 = 27 *** edited **** Thanx, Guest !
