Answer:

The number of books bought in each store would be 4 The amount spent will be the same in either store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

The question has to make the assumption that no matter how many books are bought from store 1, the shipping charge is 8 dollars. Otherwise there is no solution.

Givens

Book1: 10 and  8 dollars total for shipping

Book2: 12 dollars, no shipping costs.

Equation

12x = 10x + 8         Subtract 10x from both sides

Solution

12x - 10x = 10x - 10x + 8      Combine

2x = 8                                   Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4
