Pam ate 3 pounds of food on Monday. She ate 2 more then twice the amount of food she ate on Monday then on Tuesday. How much did she eat on Tuesday.

Question

Set up the equation:

2(3) + 2 = x

We did this because she ate 2 times more then the 3 and she ate 2 more then that.

Answer 1

2*3 + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8

So Pam ate 8 pounds of food on Tuesday.

Answer 2

2*3 = 6

6 + 2 = 8
