Sara had some candy in her pocket. She first kept 2 pieces herself and then gave her 5 children 3 pieces each. If she didn't have any candy left over, how many pieces of candy did she start with
17 pieces. She had two and she had to have 15 to give to the children. If each child got 3 and there is 5. This turns into 3*5=15. Then you would add 15+2 to get 17
