Let each box had x number of cars. Since there were two boxes so we had 2x cars
\n" ); document.write( "Now
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 7 + 17 Total cars is equal to sold and those left behind\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "x = 24/2
\n" ); document.write( "x =12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
