Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of weeks and y be total number of passed tests

brittany : y = 2x + 2

liam : y = x + 5

2x + 2 = x + 5

2x - x = 5 - 2

x = 3......so in 3 weeks, they will have passed the same amount of tests

y = 2x + 2                      y = x + 5

y = 2(3) + 2                    y = 3 + 5

y = 6 + 2                        y = 8

y = 8

in 3 weeks, they will have both passed 8 tests

solution is : x = 3 and y = 8 or (3,8)
