Astore sells pencils in small and large boxes. a large box has ten times as many pencils as a small box. mr. adachi buys 5 small boxes and 2 large boxes, for a total of 250 pencils. mr. adachi sets up a system of equations to model this situation. one of the equations is y = 10x. what is the other equation? enter your answer in ax + by = c form, where a and b are whole numbers with no common factor other than 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let represent a small box of pencil and represent a large box of pencil.

We were told that "A large box has ten times as many pencils as a small box". This statement gave the equation;

If Mr. Adachi buys 5 small boxes and 2 large boxes, for a total of 250 pencils, then the equation Mr. Adachi set up was;

where and has no common factor other than 1.

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.
