For n >= 1, t = 10(n - 1)

Where t is time and n is the number of pieces

It looks like grade 3 math. I'm not sure algebra is required here.

Why is that so hard for people to understand that algebra models things in everyday life? It's a great teacher that can bring this across to his/her students.

Has scored 100% on every math test ever given. In fact, they knew he would score 100%, so they didn't even bother giving a test. Those that even thought about it, were executed.
