Let's assume

the number of bags of candy =x

the number of bags of cookies =y

There were 5 more bags of cookies sold than candy

so, we get

y=x+5

Bags of candy cost $5.50

so, total cost of candy is

=5.50x

bags of cookies cost $3.50

so, total cost of cookies is

=3.50y

so,

total cost = (total cost of candy)+(total cost of cookies)

we get

total cost =5.50x+3.50y

so, we can plug

5.50x+3.50y=53.50

now, we can plug y

5.50x+3.50(x+5)=53.50

5.5x\cdot \:10+3.5\left(x+5\right)\cdot \:10=53.5\cdot \:10

55x+35\left(x+5\right)=535

55x+35x+175=535

90x+175=535

90x+175-175=535-175

90x=360

x=4

now, we can find y

y=x+5

y=4+5

y=9

so,

the number of bags of candy =4

the number of bags of cookies =9............Answer

Two lines that have the same slopes, when will they intersect
taurus [48]

Answer: No. If two lines have the same slope they are parallel lines (or they are the same line), so they cannot intersect at one point. Because the triangles are congruent, the angles where the lines meet the x-axis are congruent. Because the lines form the same angle with the x-axis, they are parallel.
