Large = 2x+3
Small = x
````````````````````````````````````
8x+5(2x+3) = 195 this is your expression. Solve the expression:
8x+10x+15 = 195
18x = 180
x = 10 There are 10 in a small and
2(10)+3 = 23 in a large box
```````````````````````````````````````````````````
Check:
8*10 = 80 small boxes
5*23 = 115 large boxes
Total 195 Correct
