Sum of two numbers is 62?
Let's call the two numbers
and 
let's find two same numbers that would add up to 62: 31.
31 + 31 = 62
since it said the difference is 8, we have to add 4 to one number and subtract 4 from another.
31 - 4 = 27
31 + 4 = 35
Therefore, the two numbers following the given rules are 27 and 35

The fact that the coefficients are pairwise identical (except for sign) tells you that x^2 -1 is a factor (and x-5 is the other factor). Of course, you recognize x^2-1 as a special form (the difference of squares) that is factored as (x +1)(x -1).
The zeros are x = -1, +1, +5.
