A textbook store sold a combined total of 200 history and physics textbooks in a week. The number of physics textbooks sold was 62 less than the number of history textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type were sold?
Number of history textbooks sold:
Number of physics textbooks sold:
Let's say the number of history textbooks sold is x.
The number of physics textbooks sold is x - 62.
The total number of textbooks sold is x + x - 62 = 200.
Combining like terms, we get 2x - 62 = 200.
Adding 62 to both sides of the equation, we get 2x = 262.
Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = 131.
So, the number of history textbooks sold is 131.
The number of physics textbooks sold is 131 - 62 = 69. Answer: \boxed{131, 69}.
