Answer: The equations are:

X+3=Y;

45X + 75Y  = 1455 ;

The variables used are X and Y specifying number of small and large boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be  the number of small boxes

Let Y be  the number of big boxes

The first equation is:  X+3=Y;  (  Since there were 3 more small boxes shipped than large boxes )

The second equation is:    45X + 75Y  = 1455   ( this is because the small box weighs 45 pounds and big box weighs 75 pounds.  The total weight of the small boxes is 45 times the weight of each individual box. And the total weight of the second boxes is equal to 75Y.)
