the sum of the page numbers on the facing pages of a book is 77 what are the pages on the left and right
Let's call the page numbers on the left and right "x" and "x+1," respectively.
According to the problem, the sum of the page numbers on the facing pages is 77:
x + (x+1) = 77
Simplifying the equation, we have:
2x + 1 = 77
Subtracting 1 from both sides:
2x = 76
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 38
Therefore, the page numbers on the left and right are 38 and 39, respectively.
