How about
W = 245 - 5m , where m is the number of months, and W is the weight in pounds.
calculate the number of months from Sept , (m=0) to July and sub into my equation.

x - 3y = 3200
y = 600
x - 3(600) = 3200
x = 5000
x/y = 12mths
y = 600
x - 3(600) = 3200
x = 5000
x/y = 12mths

sorry not 12 mths.
3200/600 = 5.3mths
3200/600 = 5.3mths
