A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. The volume of each small box is 7 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 13 cubic feet. A total of 26 boxes of paper were shipped with a combined volume of 254 cubic feet. Determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped

the number of small boxes shipped is 14 and the number of large boxes shipped is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small boxes shipped and

Let y represent the number of large boxes shipped.

A total of 26 boxes of paper were shipped. This means that

x + y = 26

The volume of each small box is 7 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 13 cubic feet. The combined volume of small and large boxes shipped is

7x + 13y = 254 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 26 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(26 - y) + 13y = 254

182 - 7y + 13y = 254

- 7y + 13y = 254 - 182

6y = 72

y = 72/6 = 12

x = 26 - y = 26 - 12

x = 14

answer: none of these answers are correct only the second half is
