You can put this solution on YOUR website!
s, total start sum of money
Spent equal amount for six days;
x, how much spent each of these six days
r, how much remaining right then, r=s-6x

3%2F5 of s remained after those six days;
MEANING, r=%283%2F5%29s
or
s-6x=%283%2F5%29s


Three more days, he had 360 dollars remaining.
system%28s-6x=350%2C+or++%283%2F5%29s=350%29
I am not yet understanding your problem description. At best, you might still have just one equation in two variables.

Did Jason still spend x dollars on each of those three last days?
system%28s-6x-3x=350%2Cand%2C%283%2F5%29s-3x=350%29
Now, two equations in the unknown variables x and s.
