Answer: Yes, it does because linear equations are straight lines, this means the degree of a linear equation must be 0 or 1 for each of its variables. For y=5x, the degree of variable y is 1 and the degree of variable x is 1.
Brand A : 2(52) + 53 + 2(55) + 56 + 2(57) + 2(62) = 561
Brand B : 44 + 46 + 2(52) + 55 + 62 + 65 + 2(67) + 69 = 579
Brand B has more candy, but Brand A is more consistent....answer B...I think...but I do know for sure it is either A or B.
