Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve for the two consecutive page numbers whose sum is 225, we can denote the smaller page number as . Since the pages are consecutive, the next page number is . The equation based on their sum is:
This simplifies to:
Solving for , we subtract 1 from both sides:
Then, dividing both sides by 2 gives:
Therefore, the two page numbers are 112 and 113.
