The numbers get smaller in division and larger in multiplying
There should be 1,400 pages in an order that costs the same for both companies.
Let x be the unknown number of pages.
1st Company = 42 + 0.05x
2nd Company = 0.08x
0.08x = 42 + 0.05x
0.08x - 0.05x = 42
0.03x = 42
0.03x / 0.03 = 42 / 0.03
x = 1400 pages
To check
0.08x = 42 + 0.05x
0.08 (1400) = 42 + (0.05 * 1400)
112 = 42 + 70
112 = 112
