A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. Each small box of paper weighs 35 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 60 pounds. What would be the total weight, in pounds, of 8 small boxes and 6 large boxes? What would be the total weight, in pounds, of xx small boxes and yy large boxes?

Respuesta :

Answer: 640 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question we have to write an expression with the information given:

The total weight will be equal to the product of the number of small boxes (x) and the weight of each box, plus the product of the number of large boxes (y) and the weight of each box.

35 x + 60 y

Where x is the number of small boxes, and y is the number of large boxes.

Replacing with x =8 and y=6

35 (8) + 60 (6)  

280+360

640 pounds

for xx small boxes and yy large boxes:

35xx+60yy
