    You can not tell unless you have information about the relationship between the small and large boxes (for example, a large box is 2 times the weight of a small box) You can only tell that a small box and a large box's weight together is 34.5 kilograms.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3L + 5S = 135

    9L + 7S = 279

    12L + 12S = 135 + 279

    12 (S+L) = 414

    S+L = 34.5
