Can you figure out where they land near 500?
The first appears to be 2 + 3n, where n is a Natural Number. If 500 = 2 + 3n, then 3n = 498 and n = 166
A few values backwards. 500, 497, 494, 491, 488, 485, 482
The second appears to be 3 + 7m, where m is a Natural Number. If 500 = 3 + 7m, then 7m = 497 and m = 71.
A few values backwards. 500, 493, 486, 479
