The solution is x = 2 and y = 25(2) + 40√(2) - 40.

To solve the equation (5√x)² = y - 20√2, square 5 and x, add 20√2 to both sides, and solve for x and y.

To find the values of x and y in the equation (5√x)² = y - 20√2:

Square 5 and x to get 25x.

Add 20√2 to both sides of the equation.

Combine like terms and rearrange the equation to get 25x + 40√x - 40 = y.

Set this equation equal to y and solve for x.

Therefore, the solution is x = 2 and y = 25(2) + 40√(2) - 40.

The probable question may be:

Given that (5 √x)^2=y-20√2 where x and y are positive integers, find

the values of x and

x =

y

y =
