Answer:

Small box weighs 13.75 kg & large box weighs 15.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write 2 simultaneous equation and solve for weight of each box.

<em>Let weight of large box be l and small box be s.</em>

<em />

"<u>3 large boxes and  5 small boxes has a total weight of  116 kilograms</u>":

3l+5s=116

and

"<u>9 large boxes and  7 small boxes has a total weight of  238 kilograms</u>":

9l+7s=238

<em>Now we can solve for l in the 1st equation and put it into 2nd equation and get s:</em>

<em>3l+5s=116\\3l=116-5s\\l=\frac{116-5s}{3}</em>

<em>now,</em>

<em>9l+7s=238\\9(\frac{116-5s}{3})+7s=238\\3(116-5s)+7s=238\\348-15s+7s=238\\348-238=15s-7s\\110=8s\\s=\frac{110}{8}=13.75</em>

<em />

<em>now we plug in 13.75 into s into equation of l to find s:</em>

<em>l=\frac{116-5s}{3}\\l=\frac{116-5(13.75)}{3}\\l=15.75</em>

Spending on wars is essentially categorized as government purchases. How do increases in spending on the war in Afghanistan affe
DanielleElmas [232]

With the spending on wars, the aggregate demand falls and the curve will shift towards the left because the production of other goods will reduce in the economy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the government of a country spends on the war or the making of the weapons for the war, then the overall working of the economy is affected because the production of goods and services reduces compared to the normal production of goods and services.

With the fall in the production of the goods and the services, the demand also reduces because the overall income of the economy falls. The resources are used to produce war weapons and not consumer goods thus leading to fall in employment, income and so on. Thus the demand curve will shift to the left.
