Answer 1

nut gut 20 butt 12 revolver honey bun

Answer 2

It will take at least 15 weeks

Explanation:

12w+31 ≥ 205

Subtract 31 from each side

12w+31-31 ≥ 205-31

12w ≥ 174

Divide each side by 12

12w/12 ≥ 174/12

w ≥ 14.5

Rounding up to the nearest integer

w ≥ 15

It will take at least 15 weeks
