Math Problem Statement

Die som van twee getalle is 6250. Die verskil is twee keer hulle kwadrate. Wat is die twee getalle?

Solution

The question in the image appears to be written in Afrikaans, and it translates to:

"The sum of two numbers is 6250. Their difference is twice their square. What are the two numbers?"

This problem involves setting up a system of equations to solve for the two unknown numbers. Let's break it down:

  1. Sum equation: x+y=6250x + y = 6250 where xx and yy are the two numbers.

  2. Difference equation: xy=2(x2+y2)x - y = 2(x^2 + y^2)

Now, we can solve these equations step by step.
