Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in Swahili. Please answer in Swahili.

### Instruction:
Tate finishes high school in 1 year less than normal.  It takes him 3 times that long to get his bachelor's degree and Ph.D.  How many years did he spend in high school and college?

### Response:
 Alimaliza shule ya upili katika miaka 4-1=<<4-1=3>>3
Inamchukua miaka 3*3=<<3*3=9>>9 kumaliza elimu ya juu
Kwa hivyo anatumia miaka 3+9=<<3+9=12>>12 katika elimu hii
