Answer :

lets write an equation with the information provided in the problem:
6n
that is 6 small boxes with n cans of soup in each
4(2n)
that is 4 boxes with as twice as many cans as in the small
So for the small boxes he has 6n cans
and for the bigger boxes he has 4*2n = 8n cans
therefore in total he has:
6n + 8n = 14n cans
