Always start out by choosing a variable to represent something in the problem. Suppose you let x = the first nat # and y = the second nat #. Then x^2 + y^2 = 34 and x = 2y - 1. Using substitution we get (2y - 1)^2 + y^2 = 34
4y^2 - 4y +1 + y^2 = 34
5y^2 - 4y - 33 = 0
(5y + 11)(y - 3) = 0
5y + 11 =0 or y - 3 = 0
y = -11/5 or y = 3
Since -11/5 is not a natural # and 3 is a natural number, it follows that y = 3
x = 2(3) - 1 = 5

Check: 5^2 + 3^2 = 25 + 9 = 34 and 5 = 2(3) - 1

5 & 3
5 squared is 25, 3 squared is 9
25 + 9=34
5 is one less than twice the number 3 (twice the number 3 is 6)

numbers are 5 and 3

3*3-1=5 (the value of the 2nd number)

3x3 = 9
5*5 = 25
25+9=34

a^2+b^2=34
a=2b-1
=> ( 4b^2-4b+1 ) + b^2 = 34
=> 5b^2-4b-33 = 0
=> b = 3
=> a = 5
Answer is 5 and 3
