Triple 4 and subtract 2 each day
Find the number of days to be able to reach zero
1st day = 3(4) – 2
=> 12 - 2
=> 10
2nd day
=> 10 - 2
=> 8
3rd day
=> 8 – 2
=> 6
4th day
=> 6 – 2
=> 4
5th day
=> 4 – 2
=> 2
6th day
=> 2 – 2
=0

In 6th day, you’ll be able to get the amount of zero by subtracting 3(4) by 2.
