The left and right page numbers of an open book are two consecutive integers whose sum is 475. Find these page numbers.

Answer 1

x+x+2 = 475

2x = 473

x = 473/2 = a fraction not an odd number

there's a problem with the problem, such as a misprint or typo

maybe it should have been 476 not 475 then

x+x+2 = 476

2x = 476-2

2x =474

x = 237 and x+2 = 239

then 237 and 239 are two consecutive odd numbers, whose sum = 476
