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.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Yesterday, Priya successfully made 6 free throws.

Today, she made 75% as many as yesterday.

We are asked to calculate the number of successful free throws that Priya made today.

So, the number will be 6 (1 + \frac{75}{100} ) = 10.5.

Since it is the number of successful free throws, so it will be 10 throws. ( Answer )

f(-1)= 2-4

f(-1)= -2

f(x)= 3x-4

f(3)= 3*3-4

f(3)= 9-4

f(3)=5

f(x)= 3x-4

f(1)= 3*1-4

f(1)= 3-4

f(1)= -1
