Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the problem

There are 7 pages and total 42 photos. If $p$ is number of photos per page, total photos = number of pages×photos per page.
So the equation is $7p = 42$.

Step2: Solve the equation for $p$

Divide both sides of $7p = 42$ by 7. We get $p=\frac{42}{7}=6$.

Answer:

The equation is $7p = 42$ and the number of photos on each page is 6.
