Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to the system of equations ...
x + y = 85 . . . . . combined weight of a large and small box
70x +50y = 5350 . . . . combined weight of 70 large and 50 small boxes
We can subtract 50 times the first equation from the second to find the weight of a large box.
(70x +50y) -50(x +y) = (5350) -50(85)
20x = 1100 . . . . simplify
x = 55 . . . . . . . divide by 20
Using this in the first equation, we can find the weight of a small box.
55 +y = 85
y = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 55
A large box weighs 55 pounds; a small box weighs 30 pounds.

I think below is your full question:
<em>Erin and Dan went shopping at their local store. Erin bought shirts that cost $12 each and spent $18 on accessories. Dan bought the same number of shirts as Erin for $16 each and spent $10 on accessories.
</em>
<em>If Erin and Dan were billed the same amount by the store, how many shirts did each of them buy?</em>
Here is my answer
Let x is number of shirts
Person COST
ERIN 12x+18
DAN 16x+10
Equally Billed 12x+18=16x+10 <=> x = 2
so each of them buy 2 shirts

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6). Equation of the line has been given as,
4x + 9y = -9
By converting this equation into y-intercept form,
9y = -4x - 9
By comparing this equation with y = mx + b
Here, m = Slope of the line
b = y-intercept
Slope of the equation (m) = 
y-intercept (b) = -1
8). Equation of the line is,
5x + 3y = 12
3y = -5x + 12
Slope of the line = 
y-intercept = 4
