The positive difference between two consecutive odd numbers is 336. compute the larger of the two squares. But my solution was(n+1)^2-n^2=336. And. =2n+1=336. ,2n=335 where. I had n=335/2. Here igot stuck on solving the larger of the two squares. And unknown if my answer is incorrect

Your answer is clearly incorrect, since you want integers. The problem is that odd numbers differ by 2, so
(n+2)^2-n^2 = 336
now it should work better.
(n+2)^2-n^2 = 336
now it should work better.
