The larger number is 17
Explanation:To get two numbers whose difference gives 8, we will assume them as there are several two numbers whose difference gives 8
Let one of the number = 9
The other number = 9 + the difference
The other number = 9 + 8
The other number = 17
Difference = larger number - smaller number
Difference = 17 - 9 = 8
The two numbers are 9 and 17
17 > 9
Hence, the larger number is 17
