Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need a system of equations here. The first equation is that 3L boxes + 5s boxes (L = large and s = small) = 88 kg so
3L + 5s = 88
12L + 2s = 235 according to the other information given.
Solve the first equation for either L or s. I'll solve for L, just because:
3L = 88 - 5s and
L = 
and sub that into the second equation for L:
and if you distribute the 12 into the parenthesis you'll simplify it down a bit to
352 - 20s + 2s = 235 and combine like terms:
-18s= -117 so
s = 6.5 kg and plug that in to solve for L:
L = 
and
L = 18.5 kg
X=number of boys.
y=number of girls.
we suggest this system of equation
x/y=9/7
x=y+116
We solve this system of equation by substitution method.
(y+116)/y=9/7
7(y+116)=9y
7y+812=9y
9y-7y=812
2y=812
y=812/2=406
x=y+116
x=406+116=522
answer: At the school there are 522 boys and 406 girls.
to chek.
522/406=1.2857...
9/7=1.2857...
The number of boys (522) is equal to 406+116=522.
So, 34 divided by 8 is 4.25 so thats the missing side length. It gives you the other one which is 8. So 4.25 times 8 would be your area. 4.25*8=34. your answer is 34 feet squared.
