Can you plz help me because it says that it’s wrong?

Answer 1

202

Explanation:

So it has to end in 2 because 20t+22 will always be a 2.

day1:

17x1+49=66

no 2

day2:

17x2+49=83

odd

day3:

D=100

no 2

day4:

odd

day5:

D=134

no 2

etc

keep adding 17 to D until you get one that ends in 2

D=202

A=202
