A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special high-protein diet to gain weight rapidly and at a constant rate. After 8 months, he weighed 138 kilograms. He started at 90 kilograms. Let y represent the sumo wrestler's weight (in kilograms) after x months.
Complete the equation for the relationship between the weight and number of months.

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
