Hi

Country A produces about six times the amount of diamonds in carots produced in Country B.

Let x  and 6x represent amount for Country B and Country A respectively

Question states***

 x + 6x = 14,000,000

    7x = 14,000,000

     x = 2,000,000 carots produced in country B and 12,000,000 carots in Country A (6x)

CHECKING our Answer***

 2,000,000 + 12,000,000 = 14,000,000
