4775
pounds in boxes, how much does each type of box weigh?

Answer 1

large box=
small box=

Answer 2

large box= x
small box=y
x+y=70
70x+65y=4775

now you would be able to solve the system of equation ?

Answer 6

howd you do it?

Answer 7

30x+20y=1600
x+y=60

Answer 8

So, am I dividing? @amoodarya ?

Answer 9

So, am I dividing? @amoodarya ?

Answer 10

dividing by ?

Answer 11

you need to solve the system by (any) method

30x+20y=1600 /10 --->3x+2y=160
x+y=60

Answer 12

for example x=60-y
3x+2y=160
3(60-y)+2y=160

180-3y+2y=160
y=20 ---> x=60-20=40
