AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
x = # 3-credit courses
y = # 4-credit courses
x+y = 15
3x+4y = 54
so to find y, substitute and solve
3(15-y)+4y = 54
y = 9
so, 6 3-credit courses and 9 4-credit courses
check: 3*6 + 4*9 = 54 ✅
3 credits x 15 courses = 45 credits
4 credits x x courses = 54 credits
54 - 45 = 9
x = 9/4
x = 2.25
The student completed 2 courses worth 4 credits.
