Question 1084267: A store has 39 qt of milk, some in pint cartons and some in quart cartons. There are six times as many quart cartons as pint cartons. How many quart cartons are there? (Hint:

Quart cartons = 6x
x+6x=78
7x = 78 and i got lost... Could you please help me with a step-by-step algorithm? Thank you

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
Your equation is (or should be; or, even better to say, MUST be)
x + 6*(2x) = 78,
which implies
13x = 78,
and from this point you can complete the solution on your own.
Isn't it ?
