Jerry started doing sit-ups every day. The first day he did 15 sit-ups. Everyday after that he did 2 more sit-ups than he had done the previous day. Today jerry did 33 sit-ups. Write an equation that could be solved to find the number of days jerry has been doing sit-ups,not counting the first day.
