Number of physics textbooks sold was 261 & number of maths textbooks sold was 199.

Let, the number of physics textbooks sold = x

According to the question,

The number of math textbooks sold was 62 less than the number of physics textbooks sold.

So, Number of maths textbooks sold = x-62

The textbook store sold a combined total of 460 physics and math textbooks in a week.

So, the equation becomes,

(x-62)+x = 460

⇒ x-62+x = 460

⇒ 2x-62 = 460

⇒ 2x = 460+62

⇒ 2x = 522

⇒ x = 522/2

⇒ x = 261

So, 261 physics textbooks were sold

(261-62) = 199 maths textbooks were sold.
