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.
