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 45 pounds
and each large box of paper weighs 75 pounds. A total of 24 boxes of paper were
shipped weighing 1410 pounds altogether. 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.
