Answer:

  1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number. The given relation is ...

  x² +(x+3)² = 17

  2x² +6x +9 = 17 . . . . simplify

  x² +3x -4 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 17 and divide by 2

  (x +4)(x -1) = 0 . . . . . factor

The solutions make these factors zero: -4 and +1. The positive solution is 1.

The number is 1.
