Are you looking for the number of cans you and your friend each collected? If yes, here is the solution:

Let x be the number of cans.

4x + 5x = 180
        9x = 180
     9x/9 = 180/9 (divide both sides of the equation by 9)
          x = 20

Now, substitute the values:
4(20) + 5(20) = 180
       80 + 100 = 180
               180 = 180

Therefore, you collected 80 cans and your friend collected 100 cans.
