Answer
The page numbers are 314 and 315.
Work Step by Step
Let the smaller page number be $x$.
The larger page number is $x+1$.
The sum of the page numbers is represented by the equation:
$x+x+1=629$
Solve for x.
Combine like terms.
$2x+1=629$
Use the addition property of equality to subtract 1 from each side of the equation.
$2x+1-1=629-1$
Simplify.
$2x=628$
Use the multiplication property of equality to divide both sides of the equation by 2.
$2x\div2=628\div2$
Simplify.
$x=314$
Find the other page number.
$x+1=314+1=315$
