Answer:

Let x be the current page number.

If the sum of the two next pages is 101, we can set up the following equation:

x + (x+1) = 101

Simplifying this equation, we get:

2x + 1 = 101

Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get:

2x = 100

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x = 50

Therefore, the current page number is 50, and the next page number is 51.
