How to solve this question related to arithmetic progression?

Updated: 5/17/2021

A biologist is growing a tissue culture in aPetri dish. Between the end of the second dayand the end of the fourth day, the culture’smass had increased by 4 milligrams.By the sixth day the culture had a massof 36 milligrams.Assuming that the daily growth isarithmetic, on what day will the culturemass first exceed 200 milligrams? Textbook's answer: 15 days I have tried solving the question, and the n value I get is 23 days. This is not a homework question, but rather a problem that I am not able to solve, mainly due to my lack of understanding.

Seven people shake hands once how many times do they shake hands?

For everyone to shake hands with everyone else, there are 21 handshakes. (below copied from my answer of a similar question) This is an arithmetic progression and can be solved with the equation Sn=(1+(n-1))(n-1)/2 where Sn is the total sum of handshakes for n people. NB: I have used n-1 instead of n in the equation for the sum of an arithmetic progression, because you're not really going to shake hands with yourself, so you don't include the nth term, in this case 7. Alternatively, you can solve this geometrically by drawing a heptagon, drawing lines between all the vertices, and then adding all the lines up.

There is no way to answer your question. It is not an equation, because there is no equal sign. There is no explanation if it is a sequence of arithmetic or geometric numbers. There is nothing to go on to solve for a value of B.
