IF the number of seats in a row in a movie theatre is 8 more than the number of rows, and there are 884 seats, how many rows are there?

      (x+8) * x  =  884

Continuing with Melody's excellent hint, if you need help solving it, here it is:

 

x2+8x884=0x=8±64+35362x=8±36002x=8±602x=4±30x=34,26

Obviously, the answer cannot be -34 (imagine -34 rows). So the answer is 26.
