Answer:324
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x+y = 112 ........ (1)
x-y = 62............ (2)
from (1) and (2)
2x = 174
x = 174/2
x = 87
sub x = 87 in (1)
x+y = 112
87+y = 112
y = 112 - 87
y = 25
so the numbers are 87 and 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello there is a solution :
Let:
x = Chemistry textbooks sold
y = Physics textbooks sold
The textbook store sold a combined total of 260, so:

The number of chemistry books sold was three times the number of physics textbooks sold, so:

Let:

Replace (2) into (1):

Replace the value of y into (2):
