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.

A grocery store stocks different flavors of peppermint sticks in 15 jars. The number of sticks in each jar varies from 0 to 49.
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

A. The Vertical axis should be labelled as the Number of Jars for Each Flavour

B. an interval of 7 could be appropriate

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The number of jars for each flavour is the dependent variable against the flavour type, which is the independent variable, hence it is displayed on the vertical axis to show the height of the bars.

B. since the number of sticks in a jar vary from 0 to 49, dividing 49 by 7 will give 7 without a remainder, hence, an interval of 7 will be ideal for the plot, nd a total of 7 bars will be plotted. Intervals are: 0-7, 8-14, 15-21, 22-28, 29-35, 36-42, 43-49.

I need help with a problem with solving by square roots in quadratic equation.
Readme [11.4K]

To solve for x, first, we add 3 to the given equation:

\begin{gathered} 2(x+5)^2-3+3=44+3, \\ 2(x+5)^2=47. \end{gathered}

Dividing by 2, we get:

(x+5)^2=\frac{47}{2}.

Therefore:

x+5=\pm\sqrt{\frac{47}{2}}.

Finally, subtracting 5 we get:

x=\pm\sqrt{\frac{47}{2}}-5.

Answer:

x=\operatorname{\pm}\sqrt{\frac{47}{2}}-5.
