// fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. a delivery of 3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 86 kilograms. a delivery of 6 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 122 kilograms. how much does each type of box weigh?

L = 21.7 kg. S= 4.2 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

3L+5S=86. L=(86-5s)/3

6L+2S=122.

2(86-5S) + 2S = 122

172 - 10 S +2S = 122

172 - 12S = 122

-12S= -50. S= 4.2

L = (86-(5*4.2))/3 = 21.7

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
