Answer:
he is not correct cuz none of the x factors repeat :)
45 pages total
3 on last page
45-3=42
there are 42 on the rest of the pages
on each page, there are 2 more pages in album than then stamps on pages
amount of stamps on pages with equal number of stamps is
A=numberofpgest times number of stamps on pages
number of pages=p
number of stamps per papge=s
a=ps
2 more pages than stamps on pages
p=2+s
total number of stamps per page is s=(45-3)/(p-1)
(what I did is I first got rid of number of stamps on last page, then got rid of the last page)
P=2+s
s=(45-3)/(2+s-1)
s=42/(s+1)
times s+1 both sides
s^2+s=42
minus 42
s^2+s-42=0
factor
(s-6)(s+7)=0
set equal to zero
s-6=0
s=6
s+7=0
s=-7, false, no negative stamps
6 stamps per page
sub
p=2+s
p=2+6
p=8
8 pages
check
last page is 3 so 8-1=7 page left
7*6=42
3+42=45
correct
there are
8 pages in the album
6 stamps per page

The minute hand is like an eight inch radius of a circle, whose circumference would equal 2 * PI * 8 = 50.265 inches. By moving to 8 o'clock, it travels 2/3 of the circumference or 50.265 * 2/3 = 33.510 inches
