Writing Equations from Word Problems

Learn how to set up and solve word problems. Although they may seem tricky at first solving word problems can be fun.

Yeah, this is easy. But this didn't really get me anywhere.
I am 6th grade and was trying to solve something like this:

Max and his family visited the beach and the mountains during the summer. They stayed at the beach 5 fewer than 3 times as many days as they stayed in the mountains, how long did they spend at the beach?

And this too:

In the second round of a computer game, Ronald scored one quarter of the square of the number of points he scored in the first round. If he scored 10 points in the first round, how many points did Ronald score in the second round?

I really hope you can help me with this... Thanks anyways!
