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
x=3 is your answer. This is because it only crosses the x-axis and this occurs at positive 3. y=3 on the other hand would be a horizontal line that only touches positive 3 on the y-axis.
