Algebra World Problem Help?
Susan closed her eyes and opened her algebra book. After checking the page numbers, she noticed that their product was 650. To what 2 page numbers did Susan open her book to? Create an Algebraic equation.
Please explain how you got the answer for I don't understand, and would like to know for future references.

25 & 26 ... got close by doing sqrt of 650 ... and odd numbers are traditionally on the left page
650=xy
x+1=y
y-1=x
x=25 y=26
Hope I helped!
