Problema Solution
A book is opened.The sum of the page numbers on the facing pages is 457. Find the page numbers.
Answer provided by our tutors
The page numbers must be consecutive numbers. If the first is x, the next must be x+1. Set them equal to 457. Solve for x.
So you have x + x + 1 = 457
2x + 1 = 457
2x = 456
x = 228.
Therefore, the page numbers are 228 and 229.
