That changes the description.
What you really want to do is this:
Try making x and y, ratio of photos to pages for small page (x) and for large page (y). With this "assumption" and variables, form a system
You can eliminate the 3x to first find y; and use this y value to find x.
-
------photographs on a large page
-------photographs on a small page
Those seem the reverse of what would be expected. Fewer on large page than on small page.
