At the zoo there were 3 times as many monkeys as lions how many monkey were there

Does it say how many lions there are?
Take the amount of lions and times it by three.
So 3x (X being the amount of lions).

The two equivalent expressions are 6(x − y) and 6x − 6y.The first expression shows subtracting the number of packages of cherry snacks from the number of packages of strawberry snacks in each box and then multiplying the difference by the number of boxes. That's the same as finding the total number of cherry snacks and subtracting it from the total number of strawberry snacks, as shown in the second expression.
