HELP PLS WILL GIVE A LOT OF POINT

Answer 1

Answer:

large = 18 3/4 = 18.75

small = 13/2 = 6 1/2 = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = the weight of large boxes

s = weight of small boxes

2 large and 3 small weights 57

2l+3s = 57

6 large and 5 small wights 145

6l+5s = 145

Multiply the first equation by 3

3(2l+3s) = 57*3

6l +9s =171

Subtract the second equation

6l +9s =171

-6l -5s = -145

-----------------------

     4s =26

Divide each side by 4

4s/4 = 26/4

s = 26/4 = 13/2

Substitute this into the first equation

2l +3s = 57

2l + 3(13/2) =57

Multiply by 2 to get rid of the fractions

2(2l + 3(13/2)) =57*2

4l + 39 = 114

Subtract 39 from each side

4l +39-39 = 114-39

4l =75

Divide by 4

4l/4 = 75/4

l = 75/4 = 18 3/4
