Lisa's notebook has #82# pages.

Explanation:

If we represent the number of pages in Lisa's notebook as #x#, then the number of pages in Samantha's notebook will be #(3x+14)#, which we know to be #260#. Hence:

#3x+14=260#

Subtract #14# from each side.

#3x=246#

Divide each side by #3#.

#x=82# which is the number of pages in Lisa's notebook.
