Let a = weight of large box in pounds
Let b = weight of small box in pounds
(1) 65a + 70b=4000
(2) a+b=60
Now we can simultaneously solve these equations.
a = 60 - b. Hence 65(60 - b) + 70b = 4000 So 3900 + 5b = 4000 and 100 = 5b hence b = 20.
SImilarly a = 40. Now we can verify too by putting in the calculated values.
Distribute 
to every term inside the parentheses.
Simplify with multiplication.
You can't simplify further by adding, so leave the answer as-is.

To find the GCF:
-- List the factors of the first number.
-- List the factors of the second number.
-- Make a short list of the factors that show up for BOTH numbers.
-- Find the biggest number on the short list.
Factors of the first number (99): <u>1</u>, 3, 9, <u>11</u>, 33, 99 .
Factors of the second number (121): <u>1</u>, <u>11</u>, 121 .
Short list (factors that show up for both numbers): 1, 11
Biggest number on the short list: <em>11</em>
No, b is the y-intercept, m is the slope
