Our solution to the math challenge

We continued this chart until the 10th term. We found out a expression which is: n (n) + n = x
(n = open lockers)
(x = closed lockers)
But the question says to find how many lockers are open after the 1000th student enters the school.

We can't seem to find the correct answer with this expression. The closest we got was when n=31
Do you have another formula to solve this problem?
