Data:
M = Math books
E = Englisg books
TB = Total books
The total of the books is the addition of the math and english books
![TB\text{ = M+ E}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/bspdm39z200mt8q5zedux05kktog6z7or4.png)
The Math books are: M= E-9 (Nine less that English books (E))
So replacing this in the expression for Total Books:
![TB=(E-9)+E\text{ }\Rightarrow TB=E-9+E](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/y3jdb3xmluzzy0mwlxgim2i1a03spoagcg.png)
The final expression is:
![TB=2E-9](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/gxhtvapnzz3f8noq6qkfpfzs2v3zaez7sj.png)
