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

FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER GETS BRANILYEST
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Car A                               Car B

d=rt                                  d = rt

d = ra * 2.4                        d = rb 4

ra = rb+22

distances are the same so set the equations equal

ra * 2.4 =rb *4

substitue in  for ra

(rb+22) 2.4 =rb *4

distribute

2.4 rb +52.8 = 4 rb

subtract 2.4 rb from each side

52.8 = 1.6 rb

33 = rb

Car b travels at 33 miles per hour

Car a = 33+22

Car a = 55 miles per hour

The difference of two numbers is 3. their sum is 14. find the two numbers. (show work please)
Artemon [7]
Let's say the larger number is x. that means that the smaller number is x - 3. since you know their sum is x + x - 3, and that is equal to 14. so you have the equation x + x - 3 = 14. combine like terms (x) to get 2x - 3 = 14. add three to both sides to get 2x = 17. divide both sides by two to get x = 17/2. so the larger number is 17/2, and the larger number is 11/2 (17/2 - 3 = 11/2)
