Peter's account is 910-40x, and Marla's account is 470-2x. This is a system, so you must find the number that makes both equations end up with the same number. Basically trial and error. Here is what I did:
Let's try the number 10. 910-400=510 and 470-20=450. I need a higher number.
Let's try 13 next. 910-520=390 and 470-26=444. Now the number has to be lower.
Let's try 12. 910-480=430 and 470-24=446. Close, and a little lower.
11.5 is too low, and 11.7 is too high. 11.6 has Equation 1 at 446 and Equation 2 at 446.8. Very close!
It is somewhere around 11.6. I hope that this can give you a start in figuring it out, because I don't believe in giving the complete answer, because then you do not learn anything from it.
Answer:
Number of small boxes shipped = 7
Number of large boxes shipped = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of small boxes = s
And the number of large boxes = l
Weight of small box = 25 pound
Weight of the large box = 50 pounds
Total weight of the shipment = 925 pounds
Therefore, equation for the weight of shipment will be,
25s + 50l = 925
s + 2l = 37 ----- (1)
Total number of boxes shipped = 22 boxes
Therefore, equation will be,
s + l = 22 ------(2)
Subtract equation (2) from equation (1)
(s + 2l) - (s + l) = 37 -22
l = 15
From equation (2)
s + 15 = 22
s = 7
Therefore, number of small boxes shipped = 7
Number of large boxes shipped = 15
