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

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 3/2x + 5 and goes through the point (0, 7)
Lena [83]

Answer:

y = 3/2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the ordered pair (0, 7) can be considered the y-intercept, all you have to do is replace the +5 with +7 to represent the new y-intercept. The slope stays the same as the lines are parallel.
