The volume of each small box is 6 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 22 cubic feet. There were 2 more small boxes shipped than large boxes and the total volume of all boxes was 320 cubic feet. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

x = # of small boxes and y = # of large boxes

6x + 22y = 320

x = y + 2
