Let the weight of box b be x
And the weight of box a be x+5/2
And the weight of box c be x+21/2
X+(x+5/2)+(x+21/2)=195/4
3x+5/2+21/2=195/4
3x+13=195/4
3x=195/4-13
3x=195-52/4
3x=143
X=143/3
And the weight of box a be x+5/2
And the weight of box c be x+21/2
X+(x+5/2)+(x+21/2)=195/4
3x+5/2+21/2=195/4
3x+13=195/4
3x=195/4-13
3x=195-52/4
3x=143
X=143/3
