You can put this solution on YOUR website! Timothy is more than 8years of age. 8 years ago, his age was a square number.
8 years from now, it will be a square number.
The quickest way is to just write some squares above 8
9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64
then find the squares that are 16 apart
8 yrs ago he was 9
8 yrs hence he will be 25
now he is 17 yrs old
:
How old will Timothy be 2 years from now? 19
