<span>3y = x + 6
y – x = 3 -----------> x=y - 3 (substitute in 1st equation)
3y = y - 3 +6
3y - y = 3
2y = 3
y = 2/3
x= y - 3 = 2/3 -3 = 2/3 - 9/3 = - 7/3
</span>x= - 7/3, y = 2/3<span>

Answer:
15 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of weeks = x.
At the end of x weeks,
Jeremy has 120 + 14x,

4x = 60
x = 15
Answer: 15 weeks
