Let m and s be the number of math and sociology books sold respectively.
m=s+88 we are also told that:
m+s=426, using m found above in this equation gives you:
s+88+s=426 combine like terms on left side
2s+88=426 subtract 88 from both sides
2s=338 divide both sides by 2
s=169, since m=s+88
m=169+88=257
So 257 math and 169 sociology textbooks were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:
First we distribute
into
and
.
That makes the left side of the equation
Now we subtract
from
, which makes
Now the equation is
Our goal is to isolate
, so we both sides by 30
That will make the equation
We multiply -1 on both sides of the equation:
Finally we simplify
, which makes
So the answer is
