You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can't solve for \"h\" because it's unknown, and the
\n" ); document.write( "information given does not make it possible to find.
\n" ); document.write( "All they want is basically what you already found
\n" ); document.write( "The number of cans of hash is
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+%2B+m+%2B+f\"
\n" ); document.write( "and this equals
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+%2B+4h+-+7+%2B+8h+-+14\"
\n" ); document.write( "This simplifies to
\n" ); document.write( "\"13h+-+21\"
\n" ); document.write( "
