Answer:

small box costs $11, large box costs $13

Explanation:

2S + 3L = 61

3S + 3L = 72

Eliminate the L terms: subtract first equation from second equation

2S + 3L = 61

-3S - 3L = -72

-------------------

-S = -11

S = 11

2S + 3L = 61

2(11)+3L = 61

3L = 39

L = 13

small box costs $11, large box costs $13
