Answer: the number of small boxes shipped is 14 and the number of large boxes shipped is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small boxes shipped and

Let y represent the number of large boxes shipped.

A total of 26 boxes of paper were shipped. This means that

x + y = 26

The volume of each small box is 7 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 13 cubic feet. The combined volume of small and large boxes shipped is

7x + 13y = 254 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 26 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(26 - y) + 13y = 254

182 - 7y + 13y = 254

- 7y + 13y = 254 - 182

6y = 72

y = 72/6 = 12

x = 26 - y = 26 - 12

x = 14

Problem page a delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. the large boxes weigh 45 pounds each, and the
marta [7]
S= number of small boxes
l= number of large boxes

equation 1:  s+l=120
equation 2:  15s+45l=3300

solve by elimination, multiply equation 1 by -15.

-15(s+l=120) =  -15s-15l=-1800  add to equation 2.

-15s+15s-15l+45l=-1800+3300  = 30l=1500

30l=1500 , l=50

s+l=120, s+50=120 --> s=70
