Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to the system of equations ...
x + y = 85 . . . . . combined weight of a large and small box
70x +50y = 5350 . . . . combined weight of 70 large and 50 small boxes
We can subtract 50 times the first equation from the second to find the weight of a large box.
(70x +50y) -50(x +y) = (5350) -50(85)
20x = 1100 . . . . simplify
x = 55 . . . . . . . divide by 20
Using this in the first equation, we can find the weight of a small box.
55 +y = 85
y = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 55
A large box weighs 55 pounds; a small box weighs 30 pounds.
Answer:
n + 6 = 7n
Step-by-step explanation:
"The sum of a number and six" would mean the number plus 6: n+6 and "is seven times the number" indicates that it would be equal to the product of 7 for n: 7n. According to this, the answer is that the translation of the sentence into an equation is: n+6=7n.
n − 6 = 7n is not right because the statement says the sum of a number and six.
7(n + 6) = n is not right because the statement indicates that seven multiplies n on the right side as it says seven times the number.
n = 7n + 6 is not right because the statement says the sum of a number and six which would be on the left side and that this would be equal to seven for n.

Answer:
[7-2x+5y-(x-y) -[5x+3y-7]
= 7-2x+5y-x+y-5x-3y+7
=7+7-2x-x-5x+5y+y-3y
=14-8x+3y
=-8x+3y+14
