Explanation:

x + x+1 = 941

2x + 1 = 941

2x = 940

x = 470

but the question is wrong or cannot be answered bad in the given information.

the question sounds be : what are the page numbers ?

the answer : 470 and 471.

but "how many pages does the book have" cannot be answered.

the book could have 471 pages. but also 2000. or 4000. or, or, or...

it does not change anything about the relationship of the pages 470 and 471. and there is therefore no way to know the total number of pages of the book just by knowing that there are pages 470 and 471.
