Answer
The page numbers are 262 and 263.
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:
$x+x+1=525$
Solve for x.
Combine like terms.
$2x+1=525$
Use the addition property of equality to subtract 1 from each side of the equation.
$2x+1-1=525-1$
Simplify.
$2x=524$
Use the multiplication property of equality to divide both sides of the equation by 2.
$2x\div2=524\div2$
Simplify.
$x=262$
Find the other page number.
$x+1=262+1=263$
