Answer:
10 small boxes and 12 large boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number of large boxes
Let y = number of small boxes
We are told that;
volume of each small box = 6 cubic feet
volume of each large box = 22 cubic feet.
Total volume = 324 ft³
Thus;
6x + 22y = 324 - - - (eq 1)
We are told that 22 boxes of paper were shipped.
Thus; x + y = 22 - - - (eq 2)
Making x the subject in eq 2 gives;
x = 22 - y
Put 22 - y for x in eq 1;
6(22 - y) + 22y = 324
132 - 6y + 22y = 324
16y = 324 - 132
16y = 192
y = 192/16
y = 12
So, x = 22 - 12 = 10
