Question

The left and right page numbers of an open book are two consecutive integers whose sum is 595. find these page numbers.

the two page numbers are __.
(use a comma to separate answers as needed)

Answer 1

Let's assume that the left page number is x. Then, the right page number will be x+1.

According to the given information, we can write the equation:

x + (x+1) = 595

Simplifying the equation:

2x + 1 = 595

Subtracting 1 from both sides:

2x = 594

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 297

Therefore, the left page number is 297 and the right page number is 297+1 = 298.

The two page numbers are 297, 298.
