Answer:176 psychology textbooks and 98 Biology textbooks were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of psychology textbooks that were sold.
Let y represent the number of biology textbooks that were sold.
textbook store sold a combined total of 274 psychology and biology textbooks in a week. This means that
x + y = 274 - - - - - - - - - - -1
The number of psychology textbooks sold was 78 more than the number of biology textbooks sold. This means that
x = y + 78
Substituting x = y + 78 into equation 1, it becomes
y + 78 + y = 274
2y = 274 - 78
2y = 196
y = 98
x = y + 78 = 98 + 78
x = 176
Answer:
x=291/76
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert:
1/2x(6x+ 1/2)=-0.8x+16-1.2
Remove parenthesis and move terms:
3x+1/4=-0.8x+14.8
Collect the like terms and convert:
3x+0.8x=14.8-1/4
Subtract the fractions:
3.8x=74/5-1/4
Divide both sides by 3.8:
3.8x=291/20
x=291/76
