Let the two page numbers be \"p\" and \"p%2B1\". Their sum is 285, so\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"p+%2B+%28p%2B1%29+=+285\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2p+%2B+1+=+285\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2p+=+284\" --> \"p+=+142\" so the page numbers are 142 and 143.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
