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.

X-2/x-1=x+4/2x+2 show work
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

x = (i sqrt(7))/4 - 3/4 or x = -(i sqrt(7))/4 - 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x - 1 - 2/x = 3 x + 2

Bring x - 1 - 2/x together using the common denominator x:

(x^2 - x - 2)/x = 3 x + 2

Multiply both sides by x:

x^2 - x - 2 = x (3 x + 2)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

x^2 - x - 2 = 3 x^2 + 2 x

Subtract 3 x^2 + 2 x from both sides:

-2 x^2 - 3 x - 2 = 0

Divide both sides by -2:

x^2 + (3 x)/2 + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides:

x^2 + (3 x)/2 = -1

Add 9/16 to both sides:

x^2 + (3 x)/2 + 9/16 = -7/16

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 3/4)^2 = -7/16

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 3/4 = (i sqrt(7))/4 or x + 3/4 = -(i sqrt(7))/4

Subtract 3/4 from both sides:

x = (i sqrt(7))/4 - 3/4 or x + 3/4 = -(i sqrt(7))/4

Subtract 3/4 from both sides:

Answer:  x = (i sqrt(7))/4 - 3/4 or x = -(i sqrt(7))/4 - 3/4

34 POINTS - LOGICAL ANSWERS
Alecsey [184]
These are the answer that I got:

A. <span>That means: "The more it costs, the fewer people you can invite."

B. <span>Amount you can spend = M; You will have to come up with this number -   whatever you think is reasonable.
</span>
C. (C = Cost per person, P = number of people you can invite )

D. You will have two equations. In the first equation, C will be the per-person cost at the first bowling alley. In the second equation, C will be the per-person cost at the second bowling alley.

E. <span>Be sure to think this through. Yes, you will be able to host more guests at the bowling alley with the lowest per-person cost, but is that the only factor you need to consider? What about location? Quality of lanes and bowling equipment? Music? Food? Customer Service? Consider ALL aspects.</span>  You might pick the more expensive bowling alley because you feel would have a better experience, or maybe you don't want to invite lots of people anyway.<span> 

Hope this helps!</span>
