    The difference between the squares of two consecutive numbers is 141. Find the numbers Take two consecutive numbers: n- 1 and n Given a difference (d) between the squares of two consecutive numbers, the shortcut for this is: 2n - 1 = d Proof of this: n^2- (n - 1)^2 = d n^2 - (n^2 - 2n + 1) =...
