Answer: the winning strategy is to take 1 chip, leaving our opponent with  the losing position of 5 chips.

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose we start with 6 chips.

* If we take 1 chip, we leave our opponent with 5 - which we showed  

  was a losing position for him.

* If we take 2 chip (leaving 4), our opponent will take 3 - we lose.

* If we take 3 chip (leaving 3), our opponent will take 2 - we lose.

So our winning strategy is to take 1 chip, leaving our opponent with  

the losing position of 5 chips.

Well, we can set up these equations like this-
Deborah- 2+3w
Kai- 12+2w
w=number of weeks that pass
Now, we set them equal to each other:
2+3w=12+2w

Solve for w
2-12=2w-3w
-10 = -1w
w = 10
10 weeks. Hope this helped!
