Answer 1

Answer:

Bag One: 20 kg Bag Two: 40 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Bag one has 50-3x kg of sugar. Bag two had 50-x kg of sugar.Bag two has twice as much sugar as Bag one. Let's create and solve an equation for this situation.

2(50-3x)=50-x

100-6x=50-x

100-5x=50

100=50+5x

50=5x

10=x

Bag one:50-3(10)

50-30

20kg

50-10
