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

This organelle is responsible for controlling the cell's activities. 1.Mitochondria 2.Ribosome 3.Nucleus 4.Endoplasmic Reticulum

Inga [223]

Hi there,

The Mitochondria is the power house of the cell. It provides energy for the cell therefore that is out.

The Ribosome breaks down and produces protein for the cell therefore that is out.

The Endoplasmic Reticulum allows protein to pass through in vacuoles therefore that's out as well.

The Nucleus acts as a brain controlling other organelles therefore it's the Nucleus.

So the answer is 3.

Hope this helps!
