Answer: 17x=153
It would take 9 weeks to reach a balance of 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
So what you would do, you would do as follows; you have a situation where is says "every week'' so you would put 17x=153. So to solve that, you would divide 153 by 17, and that's how you would get your answer of 9.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question we use the compound interest formula which is given by:
A=p(1+r)^(nt)
where:
A=future value
p=principle
r=rate
n=number of terms
t=time
thus plugging in the values in the formula we shall have:
A=835(1+0.04)^(4t)
simplifying this we get the sequence:
A=835(1.040)^(4t)
Thus the answer to the sequence will be:
A=835(1.040)^(4t)
Distance to travel = 20 m.
Let us determine the time, t, that each participant took to complete 20 m.
Barbara:
Average speed = (3 m)/(2 s) = 1.5 m/s
t = 20/1.5 = 13.3 s
Mark:
t = 5 s
Carlos:
y = x + 1
where
y = 20 m
x = time, t
Therefore
t =x = y - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19 s
Summary:
Barbara: 13.3 s
Mark: 5 s
Carlos: 19 s
Answer:
The winner is Mark
