To solve this problem, let’s break it down step by step.
First, if you triple 4, you get:
3 x 4 = 12
So, you start with 12. Now, every day you subtract 2 from this number. Let’s see how this unfolds over several days:
- **Day 1:** 12 – 2 = 10
- **Day 2:** 10 – 2 = 8
- **Day 3:** 8 – 2 = 6
- **Day 4:** 6 – 2 = 4
- **Day 5:** 4 – 2 = 2
- **Day 6:** 2 – 2 = 0
After 6 days of subtracting 2 each day, you will reach zero. So, the answer is:
6 days
