Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent this with two linear equations:

x+4 = y

x * y = 221

substitute for y:

y= 221/x

Plug this back into first equation:

221/x = x +4

x^2 + 4x = 221

x^2 + 4x -221 = 0

Solve this with a quadratic:

x = -17, x = 13

take the values of 17 and 13, which satisfy the given conditions
