Answer:
I believe the question is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation: 7 1 17 02
take the english statement and convert it to math
sum of the squares of two positive integers is 183 x² + y² = 183
one integer is 3 less than the other x = y - 3 x is three less than y
find the larger integer use the two equations to solve for y the larger number
x² + y² = 183 and x = y - 3
(y - 3)² + y² = 183
y² - 6y + 9 + y² = 183
2y² - 6y = 182 - 9
2y² - 6y = 173
2y² - 6y - 173 = 0
this equation does not result in an integer
2y² - 6y - 173 = 0
