Question

s confusing please help

Answer 1

According to what I can see,  your equation should look like this:

 

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

Multiply both sides by 2 (to eliminate the 1/2

 

100-6x= 50-x

Add 6x to both sides

100= 50-5x

Subtract 50 from both sides

50=5x

Lastly, divide by 5

10=x

 

So, 10 kg of sugar was removed from bag 2.

 

3x= 30, so 30 kg of sugar was removed from bag 1.

 

50-30=20 kg remaining in bag 1.

50-10=40 kg remaining in bag 2.
