The sum of the two numbers is 46, and the sum of their squares is 1130. Find these numbers. Please help me solve, I climbed a bunch of sites and similar questions, but I still do not understand where the number 92y comes from. Here is the beginning of my solution: Let x be the first number, y the second number. It is known that x + y = 46 and x2 + y2 = 1130. Let’s compose and solve a system of equations.

We immediately introduce two variables:

Let m be the first number and n the second.

Based on the conditions of the problem, we will compose and solve a system of two equations with two unknowns:

m + n = 46;

m ^ 2 + n ^ 2 = 1130;

You can solve it in different ways, we will solve it by the substitution method – we will express one of the variables in the first equation of the system, after which we will substitute the expression in the second equation:

n = 46-m;

m ^ 2 + (46 – m) ^ 2 = 1130;

m ^ 2 + 2116 – 92 * m + m ^ 2 – 1130 = 0;

2 * m ^ 2 – 92 * m + 986 = 0;

m ^ 2 – 46 * m + 493 = 0;

D = 2116-1972 = 144;

m1 = (46 – 12) / 2 = 17;

m2 = (46 + 12) / 2 = 29.

Our numbers are 17 and 29.
