X^2 - x = 7
(x - 0.5)^2 - 0.25 = 7
(x - 0.5)^2 = 7.25
(x - 0.5) = +/- sqrt 7.25
x = 0.5 +/- sqrt7.25
solution set is {-2.19, 3.19,}
S= number of small boxes
l= number of large boxes
equation 1: s+l=120
equation 2: 15s+45l=3300
solve by elimination, multiply equation 1 by -15.
-15(s+l=120) = -15s-15l=-1800 add to equation 2.
-15s+15s-15l+45l=-1800+3300 = 30l=1500
30l=1500 , l=50
s+l=120, s+50=120 --> s=70
