A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The a paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. Each small box of paper weighs 50 pounds
and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. A total of 19 boxes of paper were
shipped weighing 1280 pounds altogether. Determine the number of small boxes
shipped and the number of large boxes shipped.

Given :

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 50 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. A total of 19 boxes of paper were shipped weighing 1280 pounds altogether.

Find :

Determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped.

Calculations :

Let "S" be small boxes and "L" be large boxes.

Small box + Large box = 19

50S + 80L = 1280

→ 5S + 8L = 128

→ 5 (19 - L) + 8L = 128

→ 3L = 128 - 95

→ L = 33/3

→ L = 11ㅤㅤ

Finding the small box:

→ S = 19 - L

→ S = 19 - 11

→ S = 8

Therefore ,

Large boxes = 11.

Small boxes = 8.

o

The number of small boxes is 8 and that of the large boxes is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each small box of paper weighs 50 pounds and each large box of paper

weighs 80 pounds. A total of 19 boxes of paper were shipped weighing 1280 pounds altogether.

Let there are x small boxes and y large boxes.

Then,

x + y = 19 (1) and

50x + 80y = 1280

⇒ 5x + 8y = 128 (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get,

5( 19 - y) + 8y = 128

⇒ 3y = 128 - 95 = 33

⇒ y = 11

Now, from equation (1) we get, x = 19 - y = 19 - 11 = 8

Therefore, the number of small boxes is 8 and that of the large boxes is 11. (Answer)

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

14 ft 7 inches

step-by-step explanation:

since each model inch corresponds to 25 real inches, 7 model inches will correspond to

7×25" = 175"

at 12" per foot, that is 14 feet, 7 inches.
