    Large Box = 15.25KG

    Small Box = 13.25KG

    Step-by-step explanation:

    L = Large Box

    S = Small Box

    two large boxes and six small boxes has a total weight of 110 kg

    2L + 6S = 110

    five large boxes and three small boxes has a total weight of 116 kg

    5L + 3S = 116

    Make one of the coefficents [numbers] the same, in this case S.

    2L + 6S = 110

    10L + 6S = 232

    Subtract the equations.

    (10L + 6S = 232) - (2L + 6S = 110)

    (10L - 2L) + (6S - 6S) = 232 - 110

    8L = 122

    L = 15.25

    Substitute back into one of the equations to find S

    2L + 6S = 110

    2 (15.25) + 6S = 110

    30.5 + 6S = 110

    6S = 110 - 30.5

    6S = 79.5

    S = 13.25

    Substitute into the other equation

    10L + 6S = 232

    10 (15.25) + 6 (13.25) = 232
