Answer:

  • large: 55 lb
  • small: 30 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to the system of equations ...

  x + y = 85 . . . . . combined weight of a large and small box

  70x +50y = 5350 . . . . combined weight of 70 large and 50 small boxes

We can subtract 50 times the first equation from the second to find the weight of a large box.

  (70x +50y) -50(x +y) = (5350) -50(85)

  20x = 1100 . . . . simplify

  x = 55 . . . . . . . divide by 20

Using this in the first equation, we can find the weight of a small box.

  55 +y = 85

  y = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 55

A large box weighs 55 pounds; a small box weighs 30 pounds.

does anyone know how to help me with the letters in math, i dont understand it, and i need help, someone please? if you can can
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Letters are variables and those variable can store a number

Ex: x=5  y=2

evaluate : 3x+2y

we know that x is 5, so we know that 3x would be 15

we know that y is 2, so we know that 2x would be 4

then it says to add 3x and 2y, we would add 15 and 4 to get 19

(This is a very simple example, when you get older, the expression would be much more confusing.
