Answer:

The second number would be 8 or 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the unknown number,

Since, first number = 17,

So, the difference between x and 17 = |17 - x |

According to the question,

|17 - x | = 9

17 - x = ± 9

17 - x = 9 or 17 - x = -9

17 - 9 = x or 17 + 9 = x

⇒ x = 8 or x = 26

Hence, the second number would be 8 or 26.
