I was reading through the section of this website on Sam Loyd's puzzles and came across the "The Mathematical Milkman of Puzzleland" and I don't understand how to come up with the solution.  I follow where the table comes from, but I dont understand how to go from the table to x = 7 and y = 3.  Any suggestions?
