Answer:

x = 8

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Total small box weight = 50x [x being the number of small boxes]

Total large box weight = 80y [y being the number of large boxes]

Total boxes = x+y = 19

Total weight = 1280

Determine x and y.

You know 2 equations. One for weight and another for number of boxes each.

1280 = 50x +80y
x+y = 19

Rewrite second equation:

x+y=19

y=19-x

You have to plug in one into another.

1280 = 50x + 80(19-x)

Solve for x

1280 = 50x + 1520 - 80x

-240 = -30x

x = 8

Solve for y by plugging in x into one of the equations:

8+y = 19

y = 11
