Adelivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. the combined weight of a large box and a small box is 85 pounds. the truck is transporting 50 large boxes and 65 small boxes. if the truck is carrying a total of 4625 pounds in boxes, how much does each type of box weigh? note that the aleks graphing calculator can be used to make computations easier

Large box weighs 60 pounds and small box weighs 25 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the weight of large box and y be the weight of small box

The combined weight of a large box and a small box is 85 pounds.

The truck is transporting 50 large boxes and 65 small boxes. If the truck is carrying a total of 4625 pounds in boxes

Solve for x  and y using both equations

Divide both sides by -15

x=60

Large box weighs 60 pounds and small box weighs 25 pounds

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )

i use my brain for prombles like this maybe you could try it
