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:
(-5, -8)
Step-by-step explanation:
When you factor the equation...
r^2-4r-77
r^2+7r-11r-77
r(r+7)-11(r+7)
(r-11)(r+7) so each parenthetical term is a dimension.
Note that r>11 though for any possible real solution.
