Set I is the smaller integer
\n" ); document.write( "Set J as the larger integer
\n" ); document.write( "J = 8I - 2
\n" ); document.write( "\"J%5E2+-+I%5E2+=+884\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting (8I - 2) for J
\n" ); document.write( "\"%288I+-+2%29%5E2+-+I%5E2+=+884\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"64I%5E2+-+32I+%2B+4+-+I%5E2+=+884\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"63I%5E2+-+32I+%2B+4+=+884\"
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 884 from each side
\n" ); document.write( "\"63I%5E2+-+32I+-+880+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "The formula is
