Answer:
Number of small boxes shipped = 7
Number of large boxes shipped = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of small boxes = s
And the number of large boxes = l
Weight of small box = 25 pound
Weight of the large box = 50 pounds
Total weight of the shipment = 925 pounds
Therefore, equation for the weight of shipment will be,
25s + 50l = 925
s + 2l = 37 ----- (1)
Total number of boxes shipped = 22 boxes
Therefore, equation will be,
s + l = 22 ------(2)
Subtract equation (2) from equation (1)
(s + 2l) - (s + l) = 37 -22
l = 15
From equation (2)
s + 15 = 22
s = 7
Therefore, number of small boxes shipped = 7
Number of large boxes shipped = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations for eq 1 which is 3x + y = 118 represents the Green High School which filled three buses(with a specific number of students identified as x) and a van(with a specific number of students identified as y) with a total of 118 students.
for eq 2; 4x + 2y = 164; represents Belle High School which filled four buses(with a specific number of students identified as x) and two vans(with a specific number of students identified as y) with a total of 164 students.
The solution represents the specific number of students in the buses and vans in eq1 and eq 2 with x being 36 students and y being 10 students.
substituting 36 for x and 10 for y in eq 1;
3(36) + 10 = 108 + 10 = 118 total students for Green High School
substituting 36 for x and 10 for y in eq2;
4(36) + 2(10) = 144 + 20 = 164 total students for Belle High school

formula for finding mid point is
M=(x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2)
m=-4+3/2,4-2/2
m=(-1/2,1)
