Let's find the derivative of that hyperbola in order to find a slope formula to help us with this equation. We already have an x and y value. The derivative is found this way:

so

. The derivative supplies us with the slope formula we need to write the equation. Sub in the x value of 3 to find what the slope is:

. So in our slope-intercept equation, x = 3, y = 1, and m = -1/3. Use these values to solve for b.

so b = 2. The equation, then, for the line tangent to that hyperbola at that given point is
Make two equations. Then solve. Let t and b represent the numbers of pages in the Tax Code and Bible, respectively.
t - b = 18,528 . . . . . tax code exceeds Bible by 18,528 pages
t + b = 21,472 . . . . .together, they total 21,472 pages
Add the two equations.
2t = 40,000
t = 20,000
The number of pages in the tax code is 20,000.
