Answer:
5 and 7
Explanation:
One number is 2 more than another. The difference between their squares is 24. What are the numbers?
(x + 2)² - x² = 24
x² + 4x + 4 - x² = 24
4x + 4 = 24
4x = 20
x = 20 : 4
x = 5
----------------------
5 + 2 = 7
check
(5 + 2)² - 5² = 24
49 - 25 = 24
24 = 24
the answer is good
