Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
- Simplify




- Find the additive inverse of
by using its property - <em>"Sum of a number & its additive inverse is always zero". </em>Assume that 'x' is an additive inverse of
.


- Simplify




- Now, find the product of
& 


100-15=85
Therefore 0.85 is the multiplier
So 243.00 times by 0.85 = 206.55
6 large + 5 small = 127 kg ------------ (1)
2 large + 3 small = 51kg ------------ (2)
<u>(2) x 3 :</u>
6 large + 9 small = 153 ---------------- (2a)
<u>(2a) - (1) :</u>
4 small = 26
1 small = 6.5kg ------------ (sub into equation 1)
6 large + 5 small = 127 kg
6 large + 5(6.5) = 127
6 large + 32.5 = 127
6 large = 127 - 32.5
6 large = 94.5
1 large = 15.75 kg
Answer: The small box weighs 6.5kg and the big box weighs 15.75 kg
