Let's translate each sentence into "Math".

Pineapple = p

Orange = x

is means equal

 

Pineapple is 7 times as heavy as an orange:  p = 7x

Pineapple weighs 870 grams more than orange. p = 870 + x

 

Substitute  p = 7x  into the second equation:

7x = 870 + x

Subtract  x from both sides

6x = 870

divide by 6

x = 145

 

The orange weighs 145 grams.

The pineapple weights 7 times the orange = 7(145) = 1015 grams.
