Answer 1

114, and 115

Answer 2

Answer:

114 and 115

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the pages are p

so

Left page = p

Right page = p+1

p(p+1) = 229

2p+ 1 = 229 we want to know what p is so isolate the variable:

      -1       -1

2p=228 Divide:

p=114

The pages are 114 and 115

Check: 114+115 = 229

Hope this helps :)
