Each large box weighs 15 kilograms and each small box weighs 13.5 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Weight of large box = x

Weight of small box = y

According to given statement;

5x+2y=102      Eqn 1

3x+8y=153      Eqn 2

Multiyplying Eqn 1 by 4

4(5x+2y=102)\\20x+8y=408\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(20x+8y)-(3x+8y)=408-153\\20x+8y-3x-8y=255\\17x=255

Dividing both sides by 17

\frac{17x}{17}=\frac{255}{17}\\x=15

Putting x=15 in Eqn 2

15(3)+8y=153\\45+8y=153\\8y=153-45\\8y=108

Dividing both sides by 8

\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{108}{8}\\y=13.5

Each large box weighs 15 kilograms and each small box weighs 13.5 kilograms.

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Reflection across the Y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because only the x-coordinates changed. If these coordinates were reflected across both the x and y axis' the sign of both the x and y coordinates would have changed. When  you reflect a point across the x axis, the y-coordinates change their sign. When you <u><em>reflect </em></u><u>a point across the y axis</u>, the <u>x-coordinates change</u> their sign.

Hope this helps,
