To find the number of Geometry pages in the Mathematics textbook, we need to determine the fraction of the book that is dedicated to Geometry.Given:- of the book is dedicated to Arithmetic.- of the book is dedicated to Algebra.Let's calculate the fraction of the book that is dedicated to Geometry:Total pages in the book = 210Fraction of the book dedicated to Arithmetic = Number of Arithmetic pages = Fraction of the book dedicated to Algebra = Number of Algebra pages = Fraction of the book dedicated to Geometry = 1 - (Fraction of Arithmetic + Fraction of Algebra)Fraction of the book dedicated to Geometry = 1 - ( \frac {3}{7} \frac {2}{5} \frac {3}{7} \frac {2}{5} \frac {2 \times 7}{5 \times 7} \frac {14}{35} \frac {3}{7} \frac {3 \times 5}{7 \times 5} \frac {15}{35} \frac {14}{35} + ) = 1 - = Number of Geometry pages = Therefore, there are 36 Geometry pages in the Mathematics textbook.
