This is an arithmetic sequence with
a = 75 and d = 12
you want term(n) = 147
a + (n-1)d = term(n)
75 + (n-1)(12) = 147
12n - 12 = 72
12n =84
n =7
take it from there
a = 75 and d = 12
you want term(n) = 147
a + (n-1)d = term(n)
75 + (n-1)(12) = 147
12n - 12 = 72
12n =84
n =7
take it from there

after x weeks, he will have
75+12x
cards. So, you want
75+12x = 147
12x = 72
x = 6
75+12x
cards. So, you want
75+12x = 147
12x = 72
x = 6
