Answer:

She ate 8 donuts the first day, 14 on the second, 20 on the third, 26 on the fourth, and 32 on the fifth day

Step-by-step explanation:

Over the course of 5 days, she ate 100 donuts, each day eating 6 more than the day before. Let n be the number of donuts she ate on the first day, then she ate...

Day 1: n donuts

Day 2: n + 6 donuts

Day 3: n + 12 donuts

Day 4: n + 18 donuts

Day 5: n + 24 donuts

Add the days together and get the equation...

n + (n + 6) + (n + 12) + (n + 18) + (n + 24) = 100

Now combine like terms and solve for n...

5n + 60 = 100

5n = 40

n = 8

She ate 8 donuts the first day, 14 on the second, 20 on the third, 26 on the fourth, and 32 on the fifth day

If it was the exact spending as the previous year it would be $520 but doubled would be $1,040. Since there is not enough information in the problem I can not say for certain.

Hya think of a number "m" . She square it, add "y" to the answer and then subtract 7 from it. The final answer is "A". 1) Derive

Bond [772]

<h2><u>Solution (1)</u> :</h2>

Given, to find A we have to :

square m
Add y to m²
Subtract 7 from m² + y

From the question, the following equation can be formed :

$=\tt A = {m}^{2} + y - 7$

Therefore, the formula for finding A = m² + y - 7

<h2><u>Solution (2)</u> :</h2>

The value of A we can derive from the formula is :

$=\tt A = {m}^{2} + y - 7$

Value of m = 3 (given)

Which means :

$=\tt A = {3}^{2} + y - 7$

$=\tt \: A = 9 + y - 7$

$=\tt A = 9 - 7 + y$

$\color{plum} =\tt A = 2 + y$

Thus, the value of A = 2+y

Therefore, the value of A = <u>2+y</u>

How can i learn times faster like 3's til 12's in Times i have a hard time in my times can someone tell me how i can learn them

iogann1982 [59]

To get better at 12's:
Write down on your paper your 1's facts in column skip 5 and 11 going to 14 (a vertical line - line that goes up and down). To the right of that column, write your two's facts 0 to 8 and repeat again. Then you will have your 12's! Should look as follows

12's:

0 0 = 12 x0
1 2 = 12 x1
2 4 = 12 x2
3 6 = 12 x3
4 8 = 12 x4
6 0 = 12 x5
7 2 = 12 x6
8 4 = 12 x7
9 6 = 12 x8
10 8 = 12 x9
12 0 = 12 x10
13 2 = 12 x 11
14 4 = 12 x 12
