Let x be the amount Corey has saved.
Jasper has saved 6 more than twice as much as Corey, so Jasper has saved 2x + 6 dollars.
The total amount saved by both of them is x + 2x + 6 = 78.
Combining like terms, we get 3x + 6 = 78.
Subtracting 6 from both sides gives 3x = 72.
Dividing by 3, we find x = 24.
Therefore, Corey has saved $24.
Jasper and Corey have saved up a total of $78 Jasper has saved six dollars more than twice as much as Corey. How much has Corey saved
