To find the number of photos \( p \) on each page, we can set up the following equation based on the information provided:
\[
7p = 42
\]
Here, \( 7 \) represents the number of pages and \( p \) represents the number of photos on each page, with a total of \( 42 \) photos in the album.
Now, we can solve the equation for \( p \):
1. Divide both sides of the equation by \( 7 \):
\[
p = \frac{42}{7}
\]
2. Calculate the right side:
\[
p = 6
\]
Therefore, Lamar can put **6 photos** on each page.
\[
7p = 42
\]
