Answer:

The family bought approximately 2 bags of chips.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total spent by family = $5.50

We need to find bags of chips did the family buy.

Solution:

Let number of bags of chips bought be 'x'.

Also Given:

The number of candy bars was twice as much as the number of bags of chips.

number of candy bars = 2x

Now we can say that;

Total spent by family is equal to sum of the number of bags of chips bought and number of candy bars.

framing in equation form we get;

x+2x=5.5\\\\3x=5.5

Dividing both side by 3 we get;

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{5.5}{3}\\\\x=1.83\approx2

Hence the family bought approximately 2 bags of chips.

Because if you distribute the 9 inside the parenthesis, you'd get

9*y=9y and 9*4=36

so 9y+36
