<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

Ted has the following triangle dimensions.
Alla [95]

Answer:  <em>D) </em><u><em>He cannot construct a triangle</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle to be possible <u>the largest side must be less than the sum of other two sides .</u>

In the given question largest side is 23 while other two sides are 8 and 14

Therefore for triangle to be possible 23 should be less than (8+14) but 23 > (8+14) .

Thus he can not construct a triangle using the given sides.

Hence correct option is <u><em>D)He cannot construct a triangle.</em></u>

Complete the table of values for y=x^2-2
Harrizon [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

For each value of x, we need to solve for y.

Our equation is x² -2. This means that we multiply x by itself ( x * x = x²), and then subtract that value by 2.

Here is a list of the unfilled answers:

x = -2:

-2²-2 = -2 * -2 -2 = 4-2 = 2. -2 * -2 = 4 because two negatives multiplied together makes a positive.

x=-1:

-1²-2 = 1 -2 = -1

x=1

1²-2 = 1-2= -1

x=3:

3²-2  = 9-2 = 7

b)

In this graph, the y represents the vertical part and x represents the horizontal. For each value of y, there is a horizontal line that can be drawn. For example, when y=0, the bolded horizontal line near the bottom of the graph represents that. We then need to find the points on the line representing x²-2 where it touches the horizontal line of y=0. This happens when x=-1.5 and x=1.5, as it is between the positive/negative 1 and 2 values of x
