A construction company needs to transport a mix of small and large building materials to a job site. Each small container can hold 30 materials, and each large container can hold 50 materials. A total of 10 containers were sent, which can hold 400 materials altogether.
Let x be the number of small containers sent and y be the number of large containers sent. The system of equations to determine the number of small and large containers sent is:
1. 30x + 50y = 400
2. x + y = 10
Now, solve the system of equations to find the number of small and large containers sent.
