One possible answer is: 1, 8, 17, 32, 4, 12

I don't know if there's a methodical way to get this answer. I used trial and error. I started with 1 and looked through the list to see what adds to 1 to get a perfect square. That would be 8 since 1+8 = 9 = 3^2

The process is repeated but this time for 8. After a bit of guess and checking, we see that 8+17 = 25 = 5^2.

Then after 17 is 32 because 17+32 = 49 = 7^2.

Keep doing this until all of the values are used up. If you get stuck, then try backtracking to a previous branch/path where everything worked and try another fork in the road. If that doesn't work, then try starting the sequence with a completely different value (instead of 1).

Other answers may be possible. I haven't checked all possible permutations.

You are packing a boxed gift in a larger shipping box. The dimensions of the shipping box are all 1.3 times the dimensions of th
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

2394 cubic centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

If all of the dimensions of the shipping box are 1.3 times that of the gift, then the volume of the box is 1.3^3=2.197 times that of the gift. Dividing this by the volume of the box, you get a volume of 2000 cubic centimeters for the volume of the gift. Subtracting this from the volume of the box, you get 2394 cubic centimeters of unused space. Hope this helps!

When (8x − 4) = 2x is solved, the result is:
notsponge [240]

Answer:

x = 1

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Distributive Property

Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtraction Property of Equality

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

1/2(8x - 4) = 2x

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Distributive Property] Distribute 1/2:                                                              4x - 2 = 2x
  2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides:                      2x - 2 = 0
  3. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 2 on both sides:                                    2x = 2
  4. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides:                                  x = 1

What is the volume of the sphere? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

2,144.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is V=4pi r^3/3. Lets apply this formula for your sphere. The radius is 8, so lets plug in 8 in our formula. 4pi 8^3/3. Now, lets solve. 4 times pi. What is pi? We usually think of pi as 3.14. 4x3.14 is 12.56. Now, lets do 8^3/3. 8 times 3 is 512, and divided by 3 is 170.67. Alright, now we have 12.56 times 170.67. That is 2144.7 rounded to the nearest tenth.
