Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the two numbers be x\displaystyle x and y\displaystyle y.
From the given information:
x+y=75x + y = 75
xy=20x - y = 20
We need to find the difference of their squares, which is x2y2\displaystyle x^2 - y^2.
Using the algebraic identity x2y2=(x+y)(xy)\displaystyle x^2 - y^2 = (x + y)(x - y):
x2y2=75×20=1500x^2 - y^2 = 75 \times 20 = 1500
Thus, the difference of their squares is 1500.
