when I open book two page face me the sum of the page number is 85 what are the page number if the sum is not give but the product is gives to be 1806how will you find page number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = the page on the left
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(x+1) = the page on the right
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+1) = 1806
\n" ); document.write( "a quadratic equation
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + x - 1806 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "factors to
\n" ); document.write( "(x+43)(x-42) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "positive solution
\n" ); document.write( "x = 42 & 43 are the pages \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
