Answer:
x=2y-8
We use the substitution of x in the second equation
2*(2y-8)+3y= -2
4y-16+3y=-2
7y-16= -2
7y= -2 +16
7y=14
y=14Ș7
y=2
so x= 2*2 -8
x=4-8
x=-4
the solution is (x,y)=(-4, 2)

Answer:
Second box
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume (of the box) = length * width * height
Volume of first box is: 4 * 7 * 8 = 224
Volume of second box is: 8 * 5 * 6 = 240
Since 224 < 240, the volume of the second box has the larger value.
