The sum of the page numbers on the facing pages of a book is 457. Find the page numbers?
457/2 = 228.5
82828282
To find the page numbers, let's assume that the first page is x. Since the pages are facing, the next page would be x+1.
According to the problem, the sum of the page numbers on the facing pages is 457. So we can write the equation as follows:
x + (x+1) = 457
Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of x:
2x + 1 = 457
2x = 457 - 1
2x = 456
x = 456 / 2
x = 228
So, the first page is 228 and the next page is 229.
