    Answer:

    248 psych books, 187 soc books.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x psych books were sold

    x-61 soc books were sold

    Total books was 435.

    So –

    x+x-61 = 435

    2x-61 = 435

    2x = 496

    x = 248.

    so x-61 = 187 and

    248+187 = 435.

    248 psych books, 187 soc books.
