Answer:
The two page numbers are 78 and 79.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take the page numbers are x and x + 1 .
The produce of the page numbers is 6162
so, x(x + 1) = 6162
Here we have to use the quadratic formula to solve for x.
The quadratic formula, x =
Here a =1, b = 1 and c = -6162
Plugging in the value of a, b and c in the above formula, we get
x = [-1 ± 157] ÷ 2
Let's take the positive value alone since the page number cannot be negative.
x = [-1 + 157] ÷2
x = 78
The next page number x + 1 = 78 + 1 = 79
Therefore, the two page numbers are 78 and 79.
