You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are told the total number of cans + bottles = 910. You are also told there are x cans.
\n" ); document.write( "So that means there are (910-x) bottles\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The weight of total of both cans and bottles is
\n" ); document.write( "\"14cans+%2B+70bottles+=+weight\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"14x+%2B+%2870%28910-x%29%29+=+weight\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"14x+%2B+63700+-+70x+=+weight\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"63700+-+56x+=+weight\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
