A paper company needs to ship paper to a

large printing business. The paper will be
shipped in small boxes and large boxes.
Each small box of paper weighs 50 pounds
and each large box of paper weighs 75
pounds. There were 2 more large boxes
shipped than small boxes and the total
weight of all boxes was 900 pounds.
Graphically solve a system of equations in
order to determine the number of small
boxes shipped, x, and the number of large
boxes shipped, y.
