Question

Mercury · Answer

let's let f = felisha's # and m = monique's #

Felisha is thinking of a number that is 3 times the value of Monique's number.  ---> f = 3*m

Felisha's number is also 3 more than 4 times the value of Monique's number.  ---> f = 4m + 3

should be straightforward to solve from there
