Question

Find two consecutive numbers whose squares differ by 45

Answer 1

The 2 numbers are 22 and 23

Explanation:

let the two numbers be x and x+1

according to the question:

(x+1)^2 - x^2 = 45

x^2+1+2x - x^2 = 45

2x + 1 = 45

2x= 44

x = 22

the other number is x+1 = 22+1 = 23

therefore, the two consecutive numbers are 22 and 23
