Let's let the weight of a large box be L, and the weight of a small box be S.
We know that 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes is 120kg, so:
5L + 3S = 120
We also know that 7 large boxes and 9 small boxes is 234kg, so:
7L + 9S = 234
You can multiply the first equation by 3 to get:
15L + 9S = 360
See how now both equations have 9S? We can now subtract one from the other:
(15L+9S) - (7L+9S) = 360-234
8L = 126
L = 15.75
Now sub this value back into an equation:
(5x15.75) + 3S = 120
3S = 41.25
S = 13.75
Double check these values
(7x15.75) + (9x13.75)
= 110.25 + 123.75
=234, which is consistent with above.
So a large box is 15.75kg, and a small box is 13.75kg.

Answer:
C. 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The following proportional can be set-up for the figure given:
Solve for x
Cross multiply
15 = 6x - 5x
15 = x
x = 15
Answer:
The unit price of brant A and brand B is 0.1311 and 0.1704 and brand A would be better
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the unit price for each brand is shown below:
For brand A, the unit price is
= 2.36 ÷ 18 pencils
= 0.1311
For Brand b, the unit price is
= 4.09 ÷ 24
= 0.1704
So here as we can see that brand A would be better as it has less cost as compared with brand B
So I'll walk through the first 2. Then please try the other ones and let me know if you run into more problems.
5m-6
If m is equal to 7, then replace m with 7.
5(7)-6
5x7=35 so the expression is now 35-6. Solve.
35-6=29
So that was the first one.
4m+t
We just do what we do with the first problem.
4(7)+(2)
4x7=28 so the expression is 28+2.
28+2=28

p.s. When there is subtraction, add. When there is division, multiply to cancel that out. When there is multiplication, divide to cancel. etc.
Answer:
9.7
Step-by-step explanation:
tan=opposite/adjacent
tan=9/adjacent
tan 43=9/x
x tan 43=9
0.9325x=9
0.9325x/0.9325=9/0.9325
=9.65
hence;
x=9.7
