Let the large number be x.
8 times larger number = Square of the srnall number = 8x
Square of the larger number = x2
By problem, x2 – 8x = 180
⇒ x2 – 8x – 180 = 0
⇒ x2 – 18x + 10x – 180 = 0
⇒ x(x – 18) + 10(x – 18) = 0
⇒ (x + 10)(x – 18) = 0
⇒ x + 10 = 0 (or) x – 18 = 0
⇒ x = -10 (or) x = 18
If x = 18, then larger number =18;
(small number)2 = 8 × (+18) = 144
∴ Small number = √144 = 12
The numbers are 18, 12
Note: Discard x = -10.
