For this case we must find an expression of the form:
\(x ^ 2 - y ^ 2 = 16
\)
Where,
x: unknown number 1
y: unknown number 2
A possible subtraction of numbers that is equal to 16 is given by:
\(25 - 9 = 16
\)
Rewriting these numbers as squared numbers, we have:
\(5 ^ 2 - 3 ^ 2 = 16
\)
Therefore, the numbers are 5 and 3.
Answer:
the 2 numbers are:
5 and 3
