Page numbers 132 and 133

Explanation:

Since the total of the two is 265 and they are consecutive, we can write the equation as:

x + x + 1 = 256

where x is a page number. We can simplify the equation to:

2x=264

From here, just divide both sides of the equation by two for the first page number, 132.

To get the second page number, simply add one to the first page number, since they are consecutive, to get 133.
