Question 1029167: Use quadratic formula and a calculator to solve. Round decimal approximations to the nearest hundredth.
Find two integers such that the larger is 2 less than eight times the smaller and the difference of their squares is 884.

Set I is the smaller integer
Set J as the larger integer
J = 8I - 2

Substituting (8I - 2) for J



subtract 884 from each side

The formula is

a = 63 , b = -32 , c = -880
