Urgently need help! - homogeneous equilibrium calculations involving Kc

Please can somebody help me with this and please can you explain your answer as well

How many moles of ethanol must be mixed with 3 mol of ethanoic acid at 373 K to produce 2 mol of ethyl ethanoate? (At this temperature, Kc, for the reaction CH3COOH + C2H5OH (reversible reaction sign) CH3COOC2H5 + H2O = 4.0)

Do an ICE table.

I happened to start with 3 mol of EtOH and it turned out to be the right answer.
