Answer:

Large Box = 18.5

Small Box = 15.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = large box and y = small box

5x+6y=187

3x+2y=87

cancel out one equation

(5x+6y=187)•3=15x+18y=561

(3x+2y=87)•-5=15x+10y=435

 15x+18y=561

-15x-10y=-435

–––––––––––

 0+ 8y= 126

  8y÷8 =126÷8

y=15.75

Substitute y into either original equation

3x+2(15.75)=87

3x+ 31.5=87

3x+ 31.5-31.5=87-31.5

3x=55.5

3x÷3=55.5÷3

x=18.5

E

2x  -  48  =  10x

-2x                -2x

-48  =   8x

/8          /8

-6   =  x

if you move all of your x's on to the same side it is easier to solve

What are the solutions to the equation x - 7/x = 6
bearhunter [10]

The answer is C that is X=7 and X=-1

multiple x through the given equation to get rid of a fraction. It will be

{x}^{2}  - 7 = 6x

After that bring 6X to the LHS of the equation

so that it will look like the general equation that is

{x}^{2}  - 6x - 7 = 0

Use the quadratic formula (or any other approach to find the values of x

You will arrive at

x = 7. - 1
