John Pork needs help to find this number. 

When multiplied by 3, then 7 is added, the result is a perfect square.
When multiplied by 3, then 16 is added, the result is ALSO a perfect square. 

Help John Pork find the number! 

ANWER: 3

3x + 7 = m
3x + 16 = n2

Subtract the 2 equations to get 9, which is the difference between the two perfect squares.
     - Can test different pairs (0,9), (1, 10), (4, 13),           etc. to find the suitable pair and solve for x.
