The sum of the page numbers on the facing pages of a book is 281. what are the page numbers?

If n and n+1 are the page numbers, n + n + 1 = 281





2n = 280 and n = 140





So, the numbers are 140 and 141.

The sum of the page numbers on the facing pages of a book is 281. what are the page numbers?
Page numbers on facing pages are one number apart (i.e. 1 and 2, 5336 and 5337, etc)





Let x = the number of the page on the left


x + 1 =the number of the page on the right





x + (x + 1) = 281


2x + 1 = 281


2x = 280


x = 140 -----%26gt; x + 1 = 141





Therefore, the page numbers are 140 and 141
