Value x as the weight of the large box, y as the weight of the small box

7x + 9y = 157 (1)
5x + 3y = 89 -> 15x + 9y = 267 (2)

(2) - (1) => 8x = 110

=> x = 13.75 kg
=> (1) => 5x13.75 + 3y = 89 => 3y = 20.25 => y = 6.75 kg

So, large box weigh 13.75 kg, and small box weigh 6.75 kg

Mark Brainliest if correct. :D

Doss [256]
A correlation coefficient is always a value in between -1 and 1
The closest a coefficient to -1, the correlation is a strong negative correlation
The closest a coefficient to 1, the correlation is a strong positive correlation
The closest a coefficient to 0, there is no correlation at all

The coefficient -0.61 shows a strong negative correlation
This means that the relationship between the age and the violation is an inverse relationship; as age increases, violation decreases
