Answer:

D

Explanation:

If the Olive's is 3 times x, this can be written as 3x. Ben's score is just x. Combine those to get the equation 4x=-48. Divide to get x=-12

Hope that makes sense!

Answer:

B The equation is 4x = -48. Ben's point total is -12.

Explanation:

Ben's total + Olive's total = -48

x + 3x = -48

4x = -48

x = -48 รท 4

Ben's total (x) = -12
