two pages facing each other in a book have 153 as the sum of their page numbers. What are the two page numbers?

OpenStudy (dls):

Diophantine equation?

OpenStudy (dls):

x+y=153

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think of two consecutive number which, when added together, gives 153 i guess 75 and 76 but 75 + 76 = 151 to my guess is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's a linear equation question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i can guess again and get it on the second try i bet

OpenStudy (dls):

76 and 77

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no equation needed, only a bit of thinking is all

OpenStudy (dls):

@satellite73 :D

no reason whatsoever to write an equation if you were not in math class, you could come up more or less instantly with two consecutive numbers that add up to 153 only being i class dulls common sense
