[Question]: A snail kite is a kind of bird that eats apple snails. On the first day, a snail kite ate 3 snails. Then it eats 2 more snails than it did the day before. How many apple snails in all did a snail kite eat for 5 days?
[Answer]: On the second day, the snail kite ate 3 + 2 = 5 apple snails. On the third day, the snail kite ate 5 + 2 = 7 apple snails. On the fourth day, the snail kite ate 7 + 2 = 9 apple snails. On the fifth day, the snail kite ate 9 + 2 = 11 apple snails. The snail kite ate a total of 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 = 35 apple snails in 5. days.
So the answer is 35.

[Question]: Gabriel is 3 years younger than Frank. The current total of their ages right now is 17. What is Frank's age?
[Answer]: Let X be Frank's age. So Gabriel is X - 3 years old. The total of their ages is X + (X - 3) = 17 years old. 2X - 3 = 17. 2X = 20. X = 10. So Frank is X = 10 years old.
So the answer is 10.
