Question

what does it mean by "facing pages"?

anonymous · Answer

I'm not sure that is the question they gave me and have no clue by what it means either

dumbcow · Answer

second = first +1
let x be the second page
x*(x-1) = 1482
x^2 -x -1482 = 0
(x-39)(x+38) =0
x = 39

first = 38, second=39
