Answer:
A small page can fit 2 photographs, and a large on can fit 2 photographs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of photographs on the small page be represented by m and that of large one by n.
Since the number of photographs on a page remains constant, then;
4m + 7n = 22 ........... 1
8m + 7n = 30 .......... 2
Multiply equation 1 by 2, and 2 by 1 to have;
8m + 14n = 44 ....... 3
8m + 7n = 30 ......... 4
subtract equation 4 from 3,
7n = 14
n = 2
Substitute the value of n in equation 1
4m + 7(2) = 22
4m + 14 = 22
4m = 8
m = 2
m = 2, n = 2
Therefore, a small page can fit 2 photographs, and a large on can fit 2 photographs so that the number of photographs n a page is constant.
