Question

Could someone help me?

Answer 1

The answer would have to be 55 small and 55 large there is no other explanation

Answer 2

There are 55 large boxes

and 70 small boxes.

Explanation:

Let's assume that the number of large boxes is x, and the number of small boxes is y. We then can use how many pounds each box weighs to form a system of equations.

System:

`50x+25y=4500\\x+y=125`

Step 1: Solve for a variable

`x+y=125` is also
`y=-x+125`

Step 2: Substitute

`50x+25(-x+125)=4500`

Step 3: Simplify

`50x+-25x+3125=4500\\25x=1375\\x=55`

Step 4: Solve for y

`y=-55+125\\y=70`
