Ms. Johnson used 50 tiles for an art project in the gym last year, but had to stop for summer break. This school year, she is continuing the project by adding 3 tiles to the art project each day.
In the table, enter the number of total tiles for the given days. Use your graph, if needed, to find how many tiles at day 24.
Then, write an equation to represent the story of Ms. Johnson's tiles.
Day 1: 50 tiles
Day 2: 50 + 3 = 53 tiles
Day 3: 53 + 3 = 56 tiles
Day 4: 56 + 3 = 59 tiles
Day 5: 59 + 3 = 62 tiles
...
Day 24: 50 + 3(24 - 1) = 50 + 3(23) = 50 + 69 = 119 tiles
The equation for Ms. Johnson's tiles is:
T(n) = 50 + 3(n - 1)
where T(n) represents the total number of tiles on day n.
