Question

The sum of the page numbers on the facing pages of a book is 373 what are the page numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the page numbers of open page are x and x+1 respectively.

A/q,

x+x+1 = 373

or, 2x+1 = 373

or, 2x =373-1

or, 2x = 372

or x = 372/2 = 186

Therefore page numbers on the facing page are 186 and 186+1 = 187.

Answer 2

Answer:

186 and 187

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let the page no. be x and x+1 (as we know the 2 page of a book are consecutive for eg 23,24
2. ∴ x+x+1 = 373

         ⇒2x + 1 = 373

        ⇒2x = 373 - 1

       ⇒ x = 372/ 2      

        ∴ x= 186

   3.   So the page no are 186 & 187
