Step-by-step explanation:

given,

dollars saved by Sam = 6x + 8

dollars saved by Teresa = 14x + 32

total money = $220

a/q

money saved by,

sam + Teresa = $220

so,

6x + 8 + 14x + 32 = 220

20x + 40 = 220

20x = 220 - 40 = 180

x = 180/20 = 9

x = 9

now,

money saved by,

Sam = 6x + 8 = 6(9) + 8 = $62

Teresa = 14x + 32 = 14(9) + 32 = $158

therefore,

money individually saved by Sam is $62 and by Teresa $158.
