Question

write each of the following number as the difference of the squares of two consercutive national numbers -17​

Answer 1

Answer:

8 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers be n.

Then, the consecutive number is n+1.

Now, n+n+1= 17

or, 2n+1= 17

or, 2n= 17-1

or, n=16/2

or, n= 8

and n+1= 8+1= 9

VERIFICATION: (n+1)²- n²= 9²- 8²= 81-64= 17
