Solution:
Let the two integers be a and b with a>b.
Let S=a+b and D=a−b.
We are told:
DS=3
and
S⋅D=300.
From the first equation, S=3D.
Substitute into the second equation:
(3D)⋅D=3003D2=300D2=100D=10 or D=−10.
If D=10, then S=3×10=30.
If D=−10, then S=3×(−10)=−30.
Recall a=2S+D, b=2S−D.
Case 1: D=10, S=30
a=230+10=20b=230−10=10
Case 2: D=−10, S=−30
a=2−30+(−10)=2−40=−20b=2−30−(−10)=2−20=−10
Thus, the integers are 20 and 10, or −20 and −10.
