The sum of the page numbers on the facing pages of a book is 573. what are the page numbers?
Let x = one page number


Let x+1 = facing page





x + (x+1) = 573


2x +1 = 573


2x = 572


x = 286


x + 1 = 287





The page numbers are 286 and 287.
Reply:Even numbers are always on the left page, so the left page is 286, the right page is 287
Reply:286 and 287
Reply:pages are consecutive so p + p +1 = 573 ==%26gt;


2p = 572, p = 286


pages arwe 286, 287
Reply:If the left side page number is x, the right side will be x+1


Thus x + x + 1 = 573


2x = 572


x = 286
