Answer:
50(115-y) + 25y = 4125 [from eq2]
5750 - 50y + 25y = 4125 [distribute]
5750 - 25y = 4125
-25y = -1625
y = 65 [divide both sides by (-25)]
There are 65 small boxes.
Put that value into either equation (now, which is easier?) to solve for x:
x = 115 - y
x = 115 - 65
x = 50
There are 50 large boxes.
