Answer:

Left page: 189, right page: 190

Step-by-step explanation:

When you put left page as x, the other page is x+1 because left and right page numbers are not the same but difference of 1.

With these information, you can make equation

[tex]x+x+1=379[/tex]

Add two x together.

[tex]2x+1=379[/tex]

Subtract 1 for each side.

[tex]2x=378[/tex]

Divide 2 for each side.

[tex]x=189[/tex]

So, x was left page but right page was x+1.

Left page is 189 and right page is 189+1, 190.
