The numbers are
and
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the smaller positive real number
y -----> the larger positive real number
we know that
A positive real number is 2 less than another
so

----> equation A
When 4 times the larger is added to the square of the smaller, the result is 49
so
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B

solve for x

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
is equal to
in this problem we have

so
substitute in the formula
so
The positive real number is
Find the value of y

I believe you would do the feet ,130, divided by the minutes ,35, to get how many feet per minute. It would get you a never ending decimal of 3.714285. So every minute he would drop about 4 feet. You will have to put it how it says to for what your answering is. If it says round to the whole number then he would drop 4 feet, but I hope this helps you in any way :)
