If the difference between two numbers is 7 and their product is 137 what is the sum of squares of the numbers

x-y = 7 …(1)

xy = 137 …(2)

Square (1) to get x^2 +y^2 - 2xy = 49, or

x^2 +y^2 = 2xy + 49 = 2*137 + 49 = 323 + 49 = 372.

The sum of the squares of the two numbers is 372.

The square of the sum of the two number: (x+y)^2 = x^2+2xy+y^2 = x^2 +y^2 - 2xy + 4 xy = 49 +4*137 = 49+548 = 597.

just pick what you think i need more time let me know if this

step-by-step explanation:

c.the first excerpt shows their expectations about the camp, and the second shows the reality of their circumstances

is the answer this is because first they talk about what is expected of the camp but in the second excerpt they get a harsh awakening to the true realities of the camp.

hope this

i would appreciate brainliest : )
