Question 387070: My homework isnt hard a lot of the time, but this problem is REALLY stumping me! Any help?
Last month Cindy Lou ate an unknown number of cans of Who Hash. Her mother ate 7 fewer than 4 times as many cans as Cindy Lou. Her father ate twice as many cans as her mother.

H= Cindy
M=Cindy's Mom
F=Cindy's Father
4h-7= M
2m=F

8h-14=F
But Im having trouble figuring out how to solve for h in...
Please, help me!
