Answer:

He completed 13 courses worth 3 credits and 5 courses worth 4 credits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of courses worth 3 credits = x

Number of courses worth 4 credits = y

1. The student completed a total of 18 courses, then

x+y=18

2. The student earned a total of 59 credits, he earned 3x on 3 credits' courses and 4y on 4 credits' courses, so

3x+4y=59

3. You get the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=18\\ \\3x+4y=59\end{array}\right.

From the first equation

x=18-y

Substitute it into the second equation:

3(18-y)+4y=59\\ \\54-3y+4y=59\\ \\4y-3y=59-54\\ \\y=5\\ \\x=18-5=13

He completed 13 courses worth 3 credits and 5 courses worth 4 credits.
