Let the required number be x.
Then, square of a number will be x2.
According to given information, we have
{tex}x^2 - 84 = 3(x + 8){/tex}
{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}x^2 - 84 = 3x + 24{/tex}
{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}x^2 - 3x - 108 = 0{/tex}
{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}x^2 - 12x + 9x - 108 = 0{/tex}
{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}x(x - 12) + 9(x - 12) = 0{/tex}
{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} {tex}(x - 12)(x + 9) = 0{/tex}
{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} x - 12 = 0 or x + 9 = 0
{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} x = 12 or x = -9
Since x is a natural number, x {tex}\ne{/tex} -9.
{tex} \Rightarrow {/tex} x = 12
Hence, required number is 12.
