Let's let the weight of a large box be L, and the weight of a small box be S.
We know that 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes is 120kg, so:
5L + 3S = 120
We also know that 7 large boxes and 9 small boxes is 234kg, so:
7L + 9S = 234
You can multiply the first equation by 3 to get:
15L + 9S = 360
See how now both equations have 9S? We can now subtract one from the other:
(15L+9S) - (7L+9S) = 360-234
8L = 126
L = 15.75
Now sub this value back into an equation:
(5x15.75) + 3S = 120
3S = 41.25
S = 13.75
Double check these values
(7x15.75) + (9x13.75)
= 110.25 + 123.75
=234, which is consistent with above.
So a large box is 15.75kg, and a small box is 13.75kg.

Answer:
w=-1.16u
Step-by-step explanation:
first you want to put the W's on one side and the U's on the other. we can do this by subtracting 4u from the left side and the right side making the equations 8w=-7u+2w.
next we want to subtract 2w from both sides making the equation 6w=-7u then we divide by 6 to get w=-1.16u
I HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU. I DID HOW I KNOW .
