A publisher needs to send many books to a local retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes. Each small box can hold 25 books and each larger box can hold 50 books. A total of 5 boxes were sent which can hold 200 books all together. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of small boxes sent, x, and the number of large boxes sent, y.

your welcome haha, this is the best place to find answers

how am i supposed to answer

step-by-step explanation:

nope lol

step-by-step explanation:

a

step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

- x + y = - 2 → (1)

2x - 3y = 4 → (2)

multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the x- term

- 2x + 2y = - 4 → (3)

add (2) and (3) term by term

(2x - 2x) + (- 3y + 2y) = (4 - 4), simplifying gives

- y = 0 ⇒ y = 0

substitute y = 0 in either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of x

substituting in (2) gives

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

solution is (2, 0 ) → a
