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.

Hope this helps!

Given:

The data set is:

87, 84, 85, 85, 86, 90, 79, 82, 78, 76

To find:

The mode of the given data set.

Solution:

We have,

87, 84, 85, 85, 86, 90, 79, 82, 78, 76

Arrange the data values in the ascending order.

76, 78, 79, 82, 84, 85, 85, 86, 87, 90

We know that the mode of date set is the most frequency value of the data set.

From the above data set it is clear that the number 85 has the highest frequency 2.

Therefore, the mode of the data set is 85.

Answer:

1 ) 180 - 71 = 109

2) 5x +x = 180 ;  6x = 180 ; x = 180/6 = 30

3) 90

4) x + 6x+8 + x+12 =  180 ;  8x + 20 = 180 ;  8x = 160/8= 30

5)  180 -110 = 70

6) m = 180- 119 = 61

7) 90

8) 11y - 36 = 63 ;  y = 99/11 = 9

~~~~~~~~Next page~~~~~~~~~~

(Q7) 180

(Q8) 2x+x = 3x = 90 ;  x = 90/3 = 30

(Q15) 157

(Q16) 5x + 4 + (x-2) + (3x+7) = 180

       9x +9 = 180 ;   x = 171 / 9 = 19

I hope im right!!
