You were on the right track but there's only one monkey in the final equation. One monkey = 2. Answer should be -10

Alright folks I believe a sufficient amount of time has passed. Here is the answer.

bird = a
bee = b
monkey = m

--First Row
a^2 + 1 = 17
a^2 = 16
a = 4

--Second Row
a * b^2 = 36
4 * b^2 = 36
b^2 = 36 / 4
b^2 = 9
b = 3

--Third Row
a * b * 3m = 72
4 * 3 * 3m = 72
12 * 3m = 72
3m = 72 / 12
3m = 6
m = 2

--Last Row
m - a * b = ?
2 - 4 * 3 = ?
2 - 12 = ?

-10

Three guys rent a hotel room for the night. When they get to the hotel they pay the $30 fee, then go up to their room. Soon the bellhop brings up their bags and gives the lawyers back $5 because the hotel was having a special discount that weekend. So the three lawyers decide to each keep one of the $5 dollars and to give the bellhop a $2 tip. However, when they sat down to tally up their expenses for the weekend they could not explain the following details:

Each one of them had originally paid $10 (towards the initial $30), then each got back $1 which meant that they each paid $9. Then they gave the bellhop a $2 tip. HOWEVER, 3 • $9 + $2 = $29.

The guys couldn't figure out what happened to the other dollar. After all, the three paid out $30 but could only account for $29.

Can you determine what happened?
