if the plan works , in how many weeks will the bouys weight the same amount

anonymous · Answer

150+2x=195-1x
Where you want the two quantities to equal each other and where x is equal to the number of weeks.

Then when you get x, you can "plug it into" either 150+2x or 195-x. The result should be the same.
