Help soon please !! thank you!

James has two times as many books as Kathleen does, and Kathleen has three less than double the number of books that Peter does.

If Peter has n books, write an expression for the number of books that James has.

If Peter is N,

Kathleen has the expression 2n-3,

And James has the expression from that 2(2n-3).

If asked to simplify, 4n-6, if not, 2(2n-3).
