PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK WITH YOUR ANSWER. Two bags had 50 kilograms of sugar each. After taking out 3 times as much sugar from bag one than bag two, bag one had half as much sugar left as bag two. How much sugar is left in each bag?

Bag 1: 20

Bag 2: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount taken out of bag 2

Then the amount left in each bag can be written as:

Bag 1: 50-3x

Bag 2: 50-x

Since we know that half of bag 2 is bag 1, that gives us:

50-3x = 1/2(50-x)

-> 50-3x = 25-x/2

Now lets isolate x and solve:

25 = 5x/2

-> 50 = 5x

-> x = 10

So plug x bag in for the original equations:

Bag 1: 50-3x = 50-3(10) = 20

Bag 2: 50-x = 50-10 = 40

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
