The sum of the page numbers on facing pages of a book is $373$$. What are the page numbers.


Given: The sum of the page numbers on facing pages of a book is $373$.

To do: To find the page numbers.

Solution:

Let the first page be "$x$" and the second page be "$x+1$"

Sum of page numbers$=373$.

$\Rightarrow x + x+1=373$

$\Rightarrow 2x+1=373$

$\Rightarrow 2x=373 - 1$

$\Rightarrow 2x=372$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{372}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=186$

Thus, the pages are $x=186$ and $x+1=186+1=187$.
