Ms. Jacob is teaching her Algebra class about patterns. She writes the following expressions on the board to get a sequence of numbers.
n=1:237n=2:237+17n=3:237+17+17n=4:237+17+17+17
n=1: 237 =237+0*17 =237+(1-1)*17
n=2: 237+17 =237+1*17 =237+(2-1)*17
n=3: 237+17+17 =237+2*17 =237+(3-1)*17
n=4: 237+17+17+17 = 237+3*17 =237+(4-1)*17
--
n=n = 237+(n-1)*17
237+(n-1)*17=237+17n-17=220+17n
What's the question?
