Answer:
Let x=small boxes of paper
Let y=large boxes of paper.
System of Equations: x+y=24 and 45x+75y=1410
Explanation:
Let x=small boxes of paper
Let y=large boxes of paper
There are a total of 24 boxes of paper, so for your first system, you should try to find out how many small boxes there are and how many large boxes there are.
so: x+y=24 is the first equation.
Together, all the boxes weigh 1,410 pounds. So, your next equation will be 45x+75y=1410. (because you need to multiply the weight by the number of boxes)
