◆ Define the variables:
Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b
◆ Form the equations:
One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:
a + 2b = 774
Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories
2a + b = 786
◆ Solve the equations:
From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b
Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie
◆ Find caloric content:
Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie
Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie
26 < 54
26 is less than 54

Answer:
x = 6, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Sally's age be x and Tomas's age be y.
Sum of Sally's age plus twice Tomas's age: x + 2y = 12
Difference of Sally's age and Tomas's age: x - y = 3
Multiply the second equation by two and add it to the first equation to get
3x = 18, which means x = 6.
Plug 6 in for x in the second equation to get 6 - y = 3, which means y = 3.
