Let the two numbers be a and b.
Then a2 - b2 = 8
But, a2 - b2 can be factored and thus,
(a + b)(a - b) = 8
The factor pairs of 8 are (8,1) and (4,2)
Substituting these figures
1) Using (8,1) If (a + b) = 8 and (a - b) = 1 then 2a = 8 + 1 : a = 4½ and b = 3½
2) Using (4,2) If (a + b) = 4 and (a - b) = 2 then 2a = 4 + 2 : a = 3 and b = 1..........which is the integer answer that is required.
Then 32 - 12 = 9 - 1 = 8
when you subtract one square number with another the answer is 16 what are the two numbers
1 and 4?
9 and 25
4 and 3
25 and 4 or 121 and 100

16 and 4

9 and 25
5 and 2
1 and 36
That isn't possible.
4 and 3
25 and 4 or 121 and 100
The square numbers are: 16-4 = 12
