So this is how we are going to solve for the given problem above.
Given that x = number of large boxes
and 120-x = number of small boxes.
So here is the solution:
50x + (120-x)20 = 4050
50x + 2400 - 20x = 4050
30x + 2400 = 4050
30x = 4050 - 2400
30x = 1650 <<divide both sides by 30
x = 55.
Therefore, there are 55 large boxes
120 - x = small boxes
120 - 55 = 65 small boxes.
Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.

Answer:
No acceleration, 4 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The net forces exerted on the horse and cart are not the same, so they are not balanced forces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the Newton's 2nd Law which states that an object accelerates if there is a net or unbalanced force on it. In this scenario there is just one force exerted on the wagon i.e: the force that the horse exerts on it. The wagon accelerates because the horse pulls on it. And the amount of acceleration equals the net force on the wagon divided by its mass.
As there are two forces the push and pull the horse; the wagon pulls the horse backwards, and the ground pushes the horse forward. The net force is determined by the relative sizes of these two forces.
If the ground pushes harder on the horse than the wagon pulls, there is a net force in the forward direction, and the horse accelerates forward, and if the wagon pulls harder on the horse than the ground pushes, there is a net force in the backward direction, and the horse accelerates backward.
If the force that the wagon exerts on the horse is the same size as the force that the ground exerts, the net force on the horse is zero, and the horse does not accelerate.
