Lets say that the two unknown integers are n and m.

We know the following things about n and m:

n+m=26
n^2+m^2=340

And, we want to find nm.

To solve this, we'll use the expansion of the squared of the sum of any two inegers; this is expressed as:

(n+m)^2=n^2+2nm+m^2

So, given what we know about the unknown integers, the previous can be written as:

(26)^2=340+2nm

We can easily solve for nm:

nm= \frac{(26)^2-340}{2}= \frac{676-340}{2}= \frac{336}{2}=168

The answer is 168.

Another approach to solve the problem is, from the two starting equations, compute the values of n and m, which are 12 and 14, and directly compute their product; however, the approach described is more elegant.

Apply law of total resistance in parallel circuit

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{1}{9+2J}=\dfrac{1}{3-5j}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{1}{R_2}=\dfrac{1}{9+2J}-\dfrac{1}{3-5J}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{1}{R_2}=\dfrac{3-5J-9-2J}{(9+2J)(3-5J)}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow R_2=\dfrac{(9+2J)(3-5J)}{-6-7J}
