Question 1092530: A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 5 large boxes and 6 small boxes has a total weight of 108 kilograms. A delivery of 3 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 5 kilograms. How much does each type of box weigh?

Let = weight in kg of a large box
Let = weight in kg of a small box
-------------------------------------
(1) kg
(2) kg
----------------------------
Multiply both sides of (2) by
and subtract (2) from (1)
(1)
(2)
------------------------
Answer can't be negative, are you sure the
numbers are right? 5 kg of total weight
looks suspicious.
