Stanley's Family is moving from Seattle, Washington to Houston, Texas, a distance of 2,430 miles. Each day, Stanley's family will drive 328 miles before lunch and 294 miles after lunch. After driving two days, which equation would represent one way to find how many miles (M) Stanley's family still needs to drive in order to finish their move?

• 2,430 - (328 + 294) = M
• 2,430 - (328 + 294 + 328 + 294) = M
• (328 + 294 + 328 + 294) - 2,430 = M
• (328 + 294) - 2,430 = M
