Bob age =x

Mary age= x+5

If we sum the ages

x+(x+5)=39

2x+5=39

then we clear x

2x=39-5

2x=34

x=34/2

x=17

Bob age =17

Mary age=17+5=22

Answer:

$6.50 per bag of popcorn

Step-by-step explanation:

let a bag of popcorn be represented by p and a candy bar be b

28p + 40b= $282

17p + 20b= $160.50

this is an example of stimatanelous equations

so you have to double the second equation to give 34p + 40b =$321

subtract the equations to give one

6p =$39

divide $39 by 6 to give the value of one bag of popcorn = $6.50
