I believe they saved 48.32 together because $36.24 divided by 3 is $12.08 and $36.24 + $12.08 = $48.32
<span>3w - 3x + 2w - 6 - 8
Combine like terms:
= 5w - 3x - 14</span>
12/-30=8x
cross multiply
12x=-240
x=-20
There are a number of possible combinations for this open-ended question, so here's an example question and answer, in which the two are non-related:
James' car is going at 45 miles per hour, and that is 42% of his maximum speed. How much slower does James have to go to be 27% of his maximum speed?
Amy's car used to be able to go at 45 miles per hour as 42% of her maximum speed, but due to the new upgrade, 45 miles per hour is now only 27% of her maximum speed.
