document.write( "Question 160158: Hi-I was trying to help my 6th grader with his math homework. Many years since I have done any, the problem was from a work sheet. A Frog is in a 10 foot well, climbs 3 feet during the day and slides back 2 feet at night. At what point will the frog make it to the 10 foot level and be able to crawl out? I thought the answer would be 8 days, but I did not have a formula to use. Would you please help out a frustrated dad?? Thanks for your time. \n" ); document.write( "
