Mr. Shuck, the librarian, counted 157 books checked-in during the day. This number was 8 less than 3 times the number of books checked-out the same day. How many books were checked -out that day?
Thats the word prob.. do you get the same answer?
and yes the mom, she is emailing me pics of her son doing the problem, she isnt from America, is pretty good but not perfect on her english and her husband is working out of state right now. I can see how a word problem would be even more annoying for her to try and help with.
