Let x be the smaller number, then the larger number is (x+8).
x^2 + (x+8)^2 = 544
x^2 + x^2 + 16x + 64 = 544
2x^2 + 16x - 480 = 0
x^2 + 8x - 240 = 0
(x-12)(x+20) = 0
x = 12 or x = -20 (rejected)
The smaller number is 12 and the larger number is 20.

the larger number is (12+8) = 20.

as we find that smaller number x = 12 => larger number = x+8 = 12+8 = 20.

But not -20 changes into 20.
