Large box weighs 18.25 kilograms and small box weighs 15.25 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Large box = x

Small box = y

According to given statement;

2x+6y=128    Eqn 1

5x+3y=137     Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 2;

2(5x+3y=137)\\10x+6y=274\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 3

(10x+6y)-(2x+6y)=274-128\\10x+6y-2x-6y= 146\\8x=146

Dividing both sides by 8

\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{146}{8}\\x=18.25

Putting x=18.25 in Eqn 1

2(18.25)+6y=128\\36.5+6y=128\\6y=128-36.5\\6y=91.5

Dividing both sides by 6

\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{91.5}{6}\\y=15.25

Large box weighs 18.25 kilograms and small box weighs 15.25 kilograms.

1.25

If you take the difference between two y axis numbers (say 5 and 10) which is 5 and the difference between two X axis numbers (say 4 and 8) which is 4. The y axis is the rise(5) and the x axis is the run(4). Using the formula rise/run (5/4) you can calculate the answer to be 1.25.
