Answer:
129 points
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L and C represent the scores of Luke and Caleb, respectively.
L = 2C -15 . . . . . Luke scored 15 less than twice the number Caleb did
L +C = 201 . . . . . they scored 201 points altogether
Add twice the second equation to the first:
2(L +C) + (L) = 2(201) + (2C -15)
3L +2C = 387 +2C . . . . simplify
3L = 387 . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 2C
L = 387/3 = 129 . . . . . . .divide by 3
Luke scored 129 points.

As a Question How many Students on here use Acellus?
UkoKoshka [18]
Slew lines are lines that don’t intersect (or cross over one another) and don’t lie on the small plane. So for an example, if you pick a line on the floor and a line on one of the walls, they would be skew lines because they are on different planes. It they also can’t intersect each other.
