Number of physics textbooks sold was 261 & number of maths textbooks sold was 199.
Let, the number of physics textbooks sold = x
According to the question,
The number of math textbooks sold was 62 less than the number of physics textbooks sold.
So, Number of maths textbooks sold = x-62
The textbook store sold a combined total of 460 physics and math textbooks in a week.
So, the equation becomes,
(x-62)+x = 460
⇒ x-62+x = 460
⇒ 2x-62 = 460
⇒ 2x = 460+62
⇒ 2x = 522
⇒ x = 522/2
⇒ x = 261
So, 261 physics textbooks were sold
(261-62) = 199 maths textbooks were sold.
