Let number of plastic containers collected by fourth grade= x

Then number of plastic containers collected by fifth grade students=x-216

OR

If number of plastic container collected by fifth grade is y

then number of plastic container collected by fourth grade=y+216

So, we can write it as follows

⇒ number of plastic containers collected by fourth grade= number of plastic containers collected by fifth grade +216
