Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent Adam and B represent Betty

Both Adam and Betty acquired a printer together for $258.

Thus, we can express this as A + B = 258.

It is also stated that Adam contributed $18 less than double what Betty paid.

We can formulate this as:

Adam = 2 × Betty - 18

A = 2B - 18

Substituting "A" into the equation A + B yields:

A + B = 258

2B - 18 + B = 258

3B - 18 = 258

Add 18 to both sides.

3B = 258 + 18

3B = 276

Now, divide both sides by 3 to determine B

B = 276/3 = 92 (Thus, Betty paid $92).

Since their total expenditure was $258, Adam's contribution would be calculated as:

Adam = Total - Betty's share

Adam = 258 - 92 = $166

XY= 2x +1, YZ= 6x, and XZ=81
tester [12383]
 x = 27 + 3 √ 129/ 4, 27 − 3 √ 129/ 4

Please note: the entire equation mentioned is divided by 4, not only the last term. 

 x approximates to 15.26836251, − 1.76836251

That concludes my response. I hope this is helpful. You will still need to work on finding y and z, which can be quite challenging:)

Jackson is conducting an experiment for his Physics class. He attaches a weight to the bottom of a metal spring. He then pulls t
zzz [12365]
The behavior of the spring can be described using either a sine or cosine function. The spring's maximum displacement is 6 inches, occurring at t=0, which we will define as the positive peak. Therefore, we can express the function as:
6sin(at+B). The spring's period is 4 minutes, which means the time factor in the equation must complete a cycle (2π) in 4 minutes. This gives us the equation 4min*a=2π, leading to a=π/2. Generally, a=2π/T where a is the coefficient and T is the period. For B, since sin(π/2)=1, we determine B=π/2 because at t=0, the equation becomes 6sin(B)=6. Therefore, we substitute to form f(t)=6sin(πt/2+π/2)=6cos(πt/2)
due to trigonometric relations.
