You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
The problem formulation is HEAVILY INCORRECT.
One part of the condition says that the cost of materials and the labor are 7x and 13x respectively,
where x is their common measure, a positive value.
The other part says that the cost of materials (7x) is 840 MORE than that of labor (13x).
It can not be so, BECAUSE it can NEVER be so.
Twice; no, THRICE check your post; find the error; then fix it.
Only after that you can re-post to the forum.
If you will do it, then PLEASE do not post it to me personally.
I am open to accept your "THANKS" to me for pointing you your mistake.
