Laura sold 32 boxes, Kelly sold 17, and Tia sold 34 boxes. Step-by-step explanation: Let Laura's boxes be represented by L. Kelly sold L - 15, and Tia sold 2(L - 15). Therefore, the equation L + (L - 15) + 2(L - 15) = 83 can be solved as follows: 4L - 45 = 83, giving us 4L = 128, hence L = 32. Subsequently, Laura sold 32 boxes, Kelly sold 17 (which is 32 - 15), and Tia sold 34 (totaling twice Kelly's sales). The overall total is 32 + 17 + 34 = 83.

Laura sold 32 boxes, Kelly sold 17 boxes and Tia sold 34 boxes. Step-by-step explanation: Let x be the number of boxes Laura sold. Then, Kelly's sales would be x - 15, and Tia's sales would be 2(x - 15). We conclude from the given information that the total sales are 83 boxes. Hence, we derive the equations and find that Laura sold 32 boxes, Kelly sold 17 boxes, and Tia sold 34 boxes.

Based on these criteria,

- Spacing between London-Paris and Rome-Oslo isn’t uniform.

What value of x is in the solution set of 2(3x – 1) ≥ 4x – 6?
Leona [12618]
2(3x - 1) ≥ 4x - 6 | Initial equation
6x - 2 ≥ 4x - 6 | Distributing 2 across the parentheses
2x - 2 ≥ -6 | Removing 4x from both sides
2x ≥ -4 | Adding -2 to both sides of the equation
x ≥ -2 | Dividing each side by 2

Thus, x must be at least -2 for inclusion in the solution set.
