Question

Max and his family visited the beach

and the mountains during the summer.
They stayed at the beach 5 fewer than 3
times as many days as they stayed in the
mountains. If Max and his family stayed
4 days in the mountains, how long did
they spend at the beach?

Answer 1

7 days. 4 days times 3 minus 5

Answer 2

They stayed at the beach for 7 days. 4 x 3 = 12. 12 - 5 = 7
