Answer:

  26

Step-by-step explanation:

Even integers will only have a square ending in 6 if they end in 4 or 6.

The square will only have a value greater than 76 if the number is greater than 8, that is, 14 or 16, 24 or 26, and so on.

The "smaller" integer will only be smaller if the "larger" integer is less than 16.

So, the two integers are ...

  14 and (14^2 -76)/10 = 12

The sum of 14 and 12 is 26.

_____

In the graph, we let x represent the "larger" integer and y the "smaller". The shaded area is where x > y, and the curve is the constraint on their values. The two vertical lines are the even numbers whose squares end in 6, resulting in integer values for y.

You have to do what’s in the parentheses first because of PEMDAS

688-684=4

Then you have to multiply
