Answer:

He sold 7 more small boxes than large boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no of small boxes sold .

Cost of 1 small boxes of oranges = $5

Cost of x small boxes of oranges = 5x

Let y be the no. of large boxes sold

Cost of 1 large boxes of oranges = $9

Cost of y large boxes of oranges = 9y

He sold 17 boxes in all total for 105

So,x+y=17 ---1

So,5x+9y=105 ---2

Substitute the value of x from 1 in 2

5x+9(17-x)=105

5x+153-9x=105

153-105=4x

\frac{153-105}{4}=x

12=x

Substitute value of x in 1

12+y=17

y=17-12

y=5

Difference in no. of boxes = 12-5 = 7

So, He sold 7 more small boxes than large boxes

Which property is used in the problem below?<br><br> 2(x+4)=2x+8
frutty [35]

Answer:

You would use the distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+4) = 2x+8

2x+8x = 2x+8

10x = 2x+8

10x - 2x = 2x-2x+8

8x = 8

8x/8 = 8/8

x = 1

X=-4+y and -2x-5y=15
Scrat [10]

Answer:

x=-5, y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x=-4+y into -2x-5y=15. So we have

-2(-4+y)-5y=15

8-2y-5y=15

-7y=7

y=-1

And x is -4+y so x= -4+(-1)= -5.
