Total = sold.soc.textbooks + sold.math.textbooks = 464.
\n" ); document.write( "sold.math.textbooks = sold.soc.textbooks - 80.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "sold.soc.textbooks + (sold.soc.textbooks - 80) = 464.
\n" ); document.write( "2*sold.soc.textbooks = 464 + 80.
\n" ); document.write( "sold.soc.textbooks = 544 / 2 = 272.
\n" ); document.write( "sold.math.textbooks = 272 - 80 = 192. \n" ); document.write( "
