Answer:

x=2 and y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Equation 1:

500y-600x=2800

Simplifying the above equation by dividing both sides by 100

\frac{500y-600x}{100}=\frac{2800}{100}

\frac{500y}{100}-\frac{600x}{100}=28\\\\5y-6x=28

Equation 2:

400y-400x=2400

Simplifying the above equation by dividing both sides by 400.

\frac{400y-400x}{400}=\frac{2400}{400}

\frac{400y}{400}-\frac{400x}{400}=6\\\\y-x=6

Now the system of equation is:

(1a) 5y-6x=28

(2a) y-x=6

Solving by elimination

Multiplying equation (2a) with -5

-5(y-x)=-5\times 6

(2b) -5y+5x=-30

Adding equations (1a) and (2b) in order to eliminate y

      5y-6x=28

+  -5y+5x=-30

We get -x=-2

∴ x=2

Plugging x=2 in equation (2a).

y-2=6

Adding 2 both sides.

y-2+2=6+2

∴ y=8

olganol [36]

Answer:

1 stack of 36

Step-by-step explanation:

First find how much one carton can hold

length is 45

width is 20

height is 40

40 * 20 * 45 = 36,000

Then find how much volume each box has

length is 20

width is 10

height is 5

5 * 10 * 20 = 1000

so each box is 1000 volume

1 stack of 36 is good
