Answers:
bio = 258
sociology = 169
============================================================
Work Shown:
x = number of bio textbooks
y = number of sociology textbooks
x+y = 427 books sold total
y = x-89 since 89 less sociology textbooks were sold compared to bio
Apply substitution to get the following
x+y = 427
x+x-89 = 427 ... replace y with x-89
2x-89 = 427
2x = 427+89
2x = 516
x = 516/2
x = 258 bio textbooks were sold
y = x-89
y = 258-89
y = 169 sociology textbooks were sold
The 3 lbs of candy is irrelevant, so we can discard that. All you need to do is divide 147 by 26, which is 5.65 pieces of candy. Each student will get 5 pieces, with a few left over.
I believe the first and last one are polynomials. Usually they start with the highest exponent first and then work their way down.
We can then write an equation representing this problem as:
e−1.5mi=5.25mi
Now, add 1.5mi to each side of the equation to solve for e while keeping the equation balanced:
e−1.5mi+1.5mi=5.25mi+1.5mi
e−0=6.75mi
e=6.75mi
The plane's starting elevation was 6.75 miles
