7 boxes - fish food; 1 box contained 6 pouches
Total amount of fish food is 7 × 6 = 42 pouches of fish food
2 packets - cat food; 1 packet contained 4 pouches
Total amount of cat food is 2 × 4 = 8 pouches
How many more pouches of fish food than cat food did Shelly buy?
42 pouches - 8 pouches = 34 pouches
Therefore there was 34 more pouches of fish food than cat food
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
7*x-4-(21)=0
Solve : 7x-25 = 0
Add 25 to both sides of the equation :
7x = 25
Divide both sides of the equation by 7:
x = 25/7 = 3.571
