10x = -3
x = -3/10
x = -0.3
</span>5x+6y=12
5(-0.3) + 6y = 12
6y = 12 + 1.5
6y = 13.5
y = 13.5 / 6
y = 2.25
Price per box, P = $1.45 .
Money left, M = $1247 - $472.70 = $774.3 .
Let, number of boxes are x.
So,

Therefore, they have to sell 534 more boxes.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Based on the way these stations are connected, we can infer that there are <u>56 tubes. </u>
<h3>Number of tubes in Spaceland </h3>
Each pair of stations have 2 tubes. This means that every station is connected to each of the others.
We can therefore infer that each station has 7 tubes to the other stations.
The total number of tubes would therefore be:
= Number of stations x Number of tubes per station
= 8 x 7
= 56 tubes
In conclusion, there are 56 tubes.
