<h2>Answer:</h2>

Number of biology textbooks sold: 257 textbooks

Number of psychology textbooks sold:​ 181 textbooks

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

Let the total number of biology textbook sold be "a"

Let the total number of psychology textbook sold be "b"

If a textbook store sold a combined total of 438 biology and psychology textbooks in a week, then:

a + b = 438 ................... 1

If the number of psychology textbooks sold was 76 less than the number of biology textbooks sold, then;

b = a - 76 ...................... 2

Substitute equation 2 into 1

a + (a-76) = 438

a + a - 76 = 438

2a = 438 + 76

2a = 514

a = 514/2

a = 257 biology textbooks

From equation 2;

b = a - 76

b = 257 - 76

b = 181 psychology textbooks

Number of biology textbooks sold: 257 textbooks

Number of psychology textbooks sold:​ 181 textbooks

A surveyor is conducting measures to see how wide a road is
drek231 [11]

Answer:

D) 45 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are shown below.

Given:

BC = 60 ft, CD = 24 ft and DE = 18 ft.

Since, the two triangles are similar, their corresponding sides are in proportion.

So, \frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{BC}{CD}=\frac{AC}{CE}

Now, consider the proportion of sides,

\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{BC}{CD}\\AB=\frac{BC}{CD}\times DE\\AB=\frac{60}{24}\times 18\\AB=\frac{60\times 18}{24}=45\ ft

Therefore, the distance between A and B is 45 ft.
