\text{Hey there!}


\text{Equation for company \#1: \$42 + \$0.05x}


\text{Equation for company \#2 \$ 0.08}


\text{Now, let's solve for your equations, shall we?}


\text{First set the overall equation up.}


\text{42 + 0.05x = 0.08x}


\text{Which is reverse back to: 0.08x - 0.05x = 42}


\text{0.08x - 0.05x = 0.03x}


\text{New equation (for now) 0.03x = 42}


\text{Divide each term by 0.03}


\frac{\text{0.03x}}{0.03}=(42)/(0.03)


\text{Cancel out:\ } \frac{\text{0.03}}{0.03}\text{ because it equals 1}


\text{Keep:\ }(42)/(0.03)\text{ because it helps us solve for our answer!}


(42)/(0.03) = 42/0.03 \rightarrow 1,400


\text{Total: 1,400 pgs. (pages)}


\boxed{\boxed{\text{\bf{Answer should be:1,400 pages}}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
