\n" ); document.write( "Find the page numbers?
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "These would be consecutive numbers; x, (x+1)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+1) = 506
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + x - 506 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We know it is close to the square root of 506 which is: 22.and a decimal
\n" ); document.write( "(x-22)(x+23) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 22; only positive pages here
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Pages 22 and 23
