    At the beginning of Jack's diet, he was 257 pounds. If he lost 3 pounds per week, find his weight after 12 weeks.

    A loss of weight means we subtract from Jack's current weight.
    New Weight = Current Weight - Weight Loss per week * number of weeks
    New Weight =257 - 3*12
    New Weight =257 - 36
    New Weight = 221
