pages are in each part of the book?​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=654, y=623

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of pages in first part: x

2nd part: y

Total pages: 1382

1st part + 2nd part = 1382

Therefore, x+y=1382

y=64+x

So,

x+64+x=1382

2x=1318

x=654, y=623

Answer 2

Answer:

x+x+64=1382

2x+64=1382

2x=1382-64

2x=1318

x=1318/2

x=659

x+64=659+64=723
