Answer:

x = 18.5 (large) , y = 6.25 (small)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by assigning variables to each type of box.

The large box we will call "x"

The small box we will call "y"

We know that 8x + 4y = 173 (kilograms)

And 3x + 2y = 68 (kilograms)

Since we set up a system of equations, we can now use elimination, by multiplying the entire bottom equation by -2, to get rid of the "y" variable.

8x + 4y = 173

3x(-2) + 2y(-2) = 68(-2)

-6x + -4y = -136  (side note: notice how the "y"'s would cancel each other out because -4y + 4y equals 0)

Add equations together:

2x = 37

x= 18.5

Now that we have x, just substitute it into any of the equations to get y.

You will see that y = 6.25

Please mark this brainliest, and I hope this helps!

ivanzaharov [21]

The mid-point of FJ is the number right in the middle of FJ. Find the mean of F & J. Add regardless of sign

4 + 6 = 10

10/2 = 5

Add 5 to -4

5 + -4 = 1

H is your midpoint

True. As long as AB and BC are on the same line, AB + BC = AC
