Let there be 2x science and 5x art books
<span>science books sold = 2x × 0.2 = 0.4x </span>
<span>science books unsold = 2x – 0.4x = 1.6x </span>
<span>art books sold = 5x × 0.2 = x </span>
<span>art books unsold = 5x – x = 4x </span>
<span>total books unsold = 1.6x + 4x = 5.6x </span>
<span>5.6x = 2240 </span>
<span>x = 400 </span>
<span>2x science = 800 </span>
<span>and 5x art books = 2000 </span>
Let x be the number of weeks; therefore, the two linear equations are

Where T stands for the punches on the tea punch card and C for the punches on the coffee punch card.
Solving by substitution. Set T=C, then

Thus, substitute the value of x=3 into the first equation,

Thus, after 3 weeks, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card, and he will have 23 punches on each card.
2x^2 - 11x + 5 = (2x-1)(x-5)
