Answer:

The weight of a small box = 13.5 kg

The weight of 1 large box = 18.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the weight of a small box = m kg

And the weight of 1 large box = n kg

Now, the weight of 5 small box = 5 x (weight of 1 small box) = 5 m

Also, the weight of 3 large box = 3 x (weight of 1 large box) = 3 n

Here, 3 large boxes + 5 small boxes = of 123 kilograms

⇒ 5 m + 3 n = 123 .... (1)

Again, the weight of 2 small box = 2 x (weight of 1 small box) = 2 m

Also, the weight of 12 large box = 12 x (weight of 1 large box) = 12 n

Here, 12 large boxes + 2 small boxes = 249 kilograms

⇒ 2 m+ 12 n = 249 .... (2)

Now, solving both the given equations by ELIMINATION, we get:

5 m + 3 n = 123 x (2)

2 m+ 12 n = 249 x (-5)

we get the new set of equitation as:

10 m + 6 n = 246

- 10 m - 60 n = -1245

Adding both equation, we get

-54 n = 999

or, n = 18.5

Now, 5 m + 3 n = 123

So, 5 m = 123 -3 (18.5) = 123 - 55.5 = 67.5

⇒ m = 13.5

Hence, the weight of a small box = m kg = 13.5 kg

And the weight of 1 large box = n kg = 18.5 kg

Answer:

Prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-7x+8\\$

First let's multiply our outer coefficients in this case 1 and 8, so we have 1x8=8. Now the point of this is to get the factors of 8 and see if we can get that middle term -7. Factors of 8 are 1x8, 2x4 and that's it. From there I notice that -8+1 = -7 and so:

$x^2-7x+8 = x^2-8x+x+8 = x(x-8)+(x+8)$

Notice that the (x-8) and (x+8) are not the same factors, therefore the factors are not any of those answer choices and so it's prime. You can calculate the factors by using the quadratic formula, however I think that is beyond the scope of this question.
