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.

What is the y coordinate in the solution for the system of linear equations below
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

use elimination by making the ys opposite in value and eliminating them from the equation so there is only variable:

-3x+2y=6

2(4x-y=2)

-3x+2y=6

8x-2y=4

Combine like terms and divide by 5 on both sides.

5x=10

x=2

Plug x in to find y:

4(2)-y=2

8-y=2

y=6
