Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
140, 141
Discussion:
Let the leftmost page number be number "p". The next page is then (p+1).
The questions is what is p if
p + (p+1) = 281 => subtract 1 from both sides
p +p + 1 -1 = 281 -1 => as 1- 1 =0 and p+p = 2p
2p = 280 => divide both sides by 2
p = 280/2
p = 140
So the page numbers are p (140) and p+1 (=141)
Thank you,
MrB
