We need to add Matt's entire family together so 1+2+2+4+2+3 = <<1+2+2+4+2+3=14>>14

Only 4 people could sleep in the house so 14-4 = <<14-4=10>>10 people would sleep in a tent

Each tent sleeps 2 people and there were 10 people left so 10/2 = <<10/2=5>>5 tents were needed

Matt's entire family was going to spend the week at the lake house for vacation.  Matt's family included his mom, dad, his older brother and his wife and their 4 kids.  His Uncle Joe and his wife were also coming and would bring their 3 kids.  The house only sleeps 4 people.  Everyone else would sleep 2 to a tent outside.  How many tents would they need?
