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.

Kay [80]
Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly! I will be assisting you today with answering this problem, and will teach you how to handle it on your own in the future.

First, let's take a look at our problem.
"The speed of a ship is given by D3, where D is the distance the ship travels in 3 hours. If the ship travels 48 miles in 3 hours, what is the speed of the ship?"

To solve for this, we need to understand the formula for speed.
The formula for speed is:
Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

Now that we have our formula, let's define our variables.

So, we have our distance, 48 miles, and our time, 3 hours.
Let's plug in these numbers to the formula.
Speed = \frac{48}{3}

Simplify the fraction to get the speed.
\frac{48}{3} = 16.

Your final equation is:
Speed = 16.

Our final answer is 16 mph.

I hope this helps!
