We are given:

There seems to be nothing I can do to simplify this equation. However, I can factor out an
since they both have at least an
. Here is what we get:

This is in the simplest form I can get into. I cannot do anything more to simplify this expression. This is your final answer.
10 small boxes and 11 large boxes were shipped.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total boxes shipped = 21
Total volume of shipped boxes = 342 cubic feet
Volume of each small box = 10 cubic feet
Volume of each large box = 22 cubic feet
Let,
Number of small boxes = x
Number of large boxes = y
According to given statement;
x+y=21 Eqn 1
10x+22y=342 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

Dividing both sides by 12

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

10 small boxes and 11 large boxes were shipped.

SOLUTION
Given the question in the question tab, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.
STEP 1: Write the formula for calculating compound amount

where
A = final compounded amount
P = initial principal balance
r = interest rate
n = number of times interest applied per time period
t = number of time periods elapsed
STEP 2: Write the given data
Semiannually means that n will be 2

STEP 3: Calculate the compound amount

Hence, the compounded amount after 4 years is $18,748.1972
