Let the number of days be x

He saves $50-$15=$<<50-15=35>>35 each day

After x days he had saved $35*x=$35x

His mom doubled his savings to give $35x*2=$70x

His dad added $10 to give $70x+$10=$500

Subtracting 10 from both sides of the equation formed gives $70x=490

Dividing both sides by $70 give x=7 days
