Answer» Let number of pages in 1st part is x and number of pages in 2nd part is y. because total number of pages in algebra textbook is 1382 .so, x + y = 1382.......(1) a/c to question, second part of the book has 64 pages more than 1st part .e.g., y = 64 + x .........(ii) put equation (ii) in equation (i), => x + 64 + x = 1382 => 2x + 64 = 1382 => 2x = 1382 - 64 = 1318 => x = 659 put x = 659 in equation (ii), y = 64 + 659 = 723. hence, number of pages in 1st part is 659number of pages in 2nd part is 723 Let the total no. of pages in 1st part be x then, According to the question no. of pages in 2nd part =64+xnow, Total no. of pages book has = 1382x + x + 64 = 13822x = 1318x = 659hence 1st part of book has x= 659 pagesAnd 2nd part has x + 64 = 659 + 64=723 pages********Accept As Best 👍💯****** |
