let h= history books

science books = s

h=2s  there are 2 times as many history as science so to get them equal we double the science

h+s=81    there are 81 total history and science books

2s+s=81   substitute 2s for h in the above equation

3s = 81   combine like terms

s = 27

There are 27 science books

h=2s

h=2(27)

h=54

there are 54 history books
