    The number of bacon and egg sandwiches sells are 2.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us assume that the number of coffee cups campus club sells be x.

    Let us assume that the number of muffins cups campus club sells be y.

    Let us assume that the number of bacon and eggs sandwiches campus club sells be z.

    As given

    Campus club sold a total of 55 items.

    Thus the equation becomes

    x + y + z = 55

    Of the club members sold 5 more muffins than cups of coffee.

    Thus

    Number of muffins = 5 + Number of cups of coffee

    y = 5 + x

    Putting the value of y in the equation x + y + z = 55.

    x + 5 + x + z = 55

    2x + z = 55 - 5

    2x + z = 50

    As given

    The club members charged $1 for a cup of coffee, 3$ for a muffin, and $4 for a bacon and egg sandwich and earns $119.

    Thus the equation becomes

    x + 3y + 4z = 119

    Putting the value of y in the above

    x + 3 * (x + 5) + 4z = 119

    x + 3x + 15 + 4z = 119

    4x + 4z = 119 - 15

    4x + 4z = 104

    Simplify the above

    x + z = 26

    Thus the two equations are

    2x + z = 50

    x + z = 26

    Multiply x + z = 26 subtracted from 2x + z = 50.

    2x - x + z - z = 50 - 26

    x = 24

    Put the value of x in x + z = 26.

    24 + z = 26

    z = 26 - 24

    z = 2

    Therefore the number of bacon and egg sandwiches sells are 2.
