Answer:

  • large: 18.5 kg
  • small: 15.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b and s represent the weights of the big and small boxes, respectively. Then the two delivered weights can be summarized as ...

  5b +6s = 187

  3b +2s = 87

We can eliminate the "s" variable by subtracting the first equation from 3 times the second:

  3(3b +2s) -(5b +6s) = 3(87) -(187)

  4b = 74 . . . . . collect terms

  b = 18.5 . . . . . divide by 4

Using this value in the second equation, we find ...

  3(18.5) +2s = 87

  2s = 31.5 . . . . . . . . subtract 55.5

  s = 15.75 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The large box weighs 18.5 kg; the small box weighs 15.75 kg.

Set up a proportional relationship:

xf/1n=(f/5)/(n/3)

x=3/5
