x = the number of pages of smaller type
The expression (21 - x) represents the number of larger type pages. There are 21 pages total and x of them are small, so 21 - x is the number of large pages. You multiply the number of small pages (x) by the number of words in the small type (2400) and you multiply the number of large pages (21 - x) by the number of words in the large type page (1800). The rest is arithmetic.
2,400x + 1,800(21 - x) = 48,000
2,400x + 37,800 - 1,800x = 48,000
600x = 10,200
x = 17
To check your answer: 17 pages of small type is 40800 words (17 × 2,400) and the remaining 4 pages of large type is 7,200 words (4 × 1,800). Add them together: 40,800 + 7,200 = 48,000
