L - S = 8,
\n" ); document.write( "S + \"L%5E2\" = 124. By direct substitution, L - 8+\"L%5E2\" = 124.
\n" ); document.write( "\"L%5E2%2BL-132+=+0\",
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28L-11%29%28L%2B12%29+=+0\". We eliminate the root -12 and accept only 11. The larger integer is 11, and the smaller number is 11 - 8 = 3.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
