    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
