Since they are consecutive, we can define the two unknowns with ease.
The left page (has a smaller value) can be defined as X, and the right page can be defined as X+1.
So,
X + (X+1) = 293
2x+1 = 293
2x = 292
x = 146
So, as we defined before, the smaller page number is equal to x. Therefore, the smaller page number is 146, and the larger page number is 147.
ANSWER
405m
EXPLANATION
We know the opposite side of of the right triangle to be 4629m and the given angle is 85°.
Since we want to find the adjacent side which is x units, we use the tangent ratio to obtain,
Solve for x.
x=404.985
To the nearest meter, x=405m
X2-9x+14=0
X2+-9x= -7x
-7x+14=0
0-14=-14
-7x=-14
-14/-7=2
x=2
