One positive integer is 55 less than twice another. The sum of their squares is 185. Find the integers.
Let one integer = x
Let the other = 2x - 55
So
x^2 + (2x - 55)^2 = 185
5x^2 - 220x + 3025 =185
5x^2 -220x + 2840 = 0
The discriminant is
220^2 - 4 * 5 * 2840 = -8400
So.......this has no real solution
