Answer:
Large Box = 18.5
Small Box = 15.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = large box and y = small box
5x+6y=187
3x+2y=87
cancel out one equation
(5x+6y=187)•3=15x+18y=561
(3x+2y=87)•-5=15x+10y=435
15x+18y=561
-15x-10y=-435
–––––––––––
0+ 8y= 126
8y÷8 =126÷8
y=15.75
Substitute y into either original equation
3x+2(15.75)=87
3x+ 31.5=87
3x+ 31.5-31.5=87-31.5
3x=55.5
3x÷3=55.5÷3
x=18.5
