Let's look at the corresponding ratios:
And we see that the three aren't equal.
Hence, $\Delta ABC$ and $\Delta EDC$ are not similar.
Answer:
The correct answer is 218 math textbooks and 259 sociology textbooks.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we can make a system of equations. Let the number of sociology textbooks sold be represented by the variable "s" and the number of math textbooks sold be represented by the variable "m". Using these variables, we can make two equations:
s + m = 477
m + 41 = s
There are many ways to solve this system of equations. One approach we can take is substituting the value for s given by the second equation into the first equation. This is modeled below.
s + m = 477
(m + 41) + m = 477
Combining like terms on the left side of the equation yields:
2m + 41 = 477
Subtracting 41 from both sides of the equation gives us:
2m = 436
Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by 2 gives us:
m = 218
To solve for the number of sociology textbooks, we can substitute into either of our original equations.
m + 41 = s
(218) + 41 = s
s = 259
Therefore, your answer is m = 218 and s = 259, or 218 math textbooks and 259 sociology textbooks were sold.

Answer:
13, 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters of the numbers are;
A whole number value = 2 × Another number + 6
The sum of the two numbers is less than 50
Given that the first number is equal to more than twice the second number, we have that the first number is the larger number, while the second number is the smaller number
Where 'x' represents the second number, we get;
x + 2·x + 6 < 50
Simplifying gives;
3·x + 6 < 50
x < (50 - 6)/3 = 14.
x < 14.
Therefore, the numbers for which the inequality holds true are numbers less than 14.. From the given option, the numbers are 13, and 14.
Answer = B
Working = 13-(-4) = 17
