You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let the cost of a single Coke be C. Then the cost of a single OJ is c+%2B+15
You are told John bought 2%2A%28c%2B15%29+%2B+3%2Ac+=+180
2c+%2B+30+%2B+3c+=+180
5c+=+150
c+=+30
The question only asked for an equation, so you can stop at the first equation 2%2A%28c%2B15%29+%2B+3%2Ac+=+180
