Question

The left and right page numbers of an open book are two consecutive integers whose sum is 347. Find these page numbers.

Answer 1

Let the first page = x

The second page would be x + 1

Add them together to equal 347

X + x + 1 = 347

Combine like terms:

2x + 1 = 347

Subtract 1 from both sides

2x = 346

Divide both sides by 2:

X = 173

The smaller page number is 173

The larger page number is 174

Answer 2

Answer:

173 and 174

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller page number is 173  

The larger page number is 174
