Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question illustrates that the rectangle has sides ABCD and I've represented it as an attachment.

We have that:

AB = 3x

AD = 7x

The perimeter is calculated as:

Perimeter = 2 * (AB + AD)

Substitute values for AB, AD and Perimeter

160 = 2 * (3x + 7x)

160 = 2 * 10x

160 = 20x

Divide both sides by 20

8 = x

x = 8

Ms. Walker's class set up an online fund with a goal to raise $1,280 to go on a field trip. Ms. Walker starts the fund by deposi

madreJ [45]

What you can use for this case is a function of the potential type.
We have then
y = a (b) ^ x
Where we have:
Walker starts the fund by depositing $ 5
a = 5
Each week the balance of the fund is twice the balance of the previous week:
b = 2
The function is:
y = 5 (2) ^ x
The number of weeks to reach $ 1280 is 8 weeks.
Check:
y = 5 (2) ^ 8
y = 1280
Answer:
An equation can be used to find the number of weeks, x, after which the balance of the fund will reach $ 1,280 is:
y = 5 (2) ^ x
The number of weeks that it takes to reach the class goal is
8 weeks

what is the least possible value of the smallest of 99 consecutive positive integers whose sum is a perfect cube

Dmitrij [34]

Let the least possible value of the smallest of 99 cosecutive integers be x and let the number whose cube is the sum be p, then

$\frac{99}{2} (2x+98)=p^3 \\ \\ 99x+4,851=p^3\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{p^3-4,851}{99}$

By substitution, we have that $p=33$ and $x=314$ .

Therefore, <span>the least possible value of the smallest of 99 consecutive positive integers whose sum is a perfect cube is 314.</span>
