Completely off any topic previously discussed. I long ago forget my basic Algebra since I never used it. My son has a math problem which he solved correctly but the teacher told him he should look for other ways to solve it. If anyone (LEN) can help out it would be great.

"The Monsters of Muzz" opened on Monday. The first day there were 25 people who saw the movie. Word got out and on the second day 17 more people came than on the first day, so that 67 people had seen the movie after the second day. On the third day 59 people came, 17 more than on the second day. If each day 17 more people saw the movie than the day before, on what day would 500 people have seen the movie?

He basically started with 25 and then kept adding 17 until he got to the 7th day. How about a simple formula for it?

I think I hate school even more as a parent. LOL
