    Bag One: 20 kg Bag Two: 40 kg

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Bag one has 50-3x kg of sugar. Bag two had 50-x kg of sugar. Bag two has twice as much sugar as Bag one. Let's create and solve an equation for this situation.

    2 (50-3x) = 50-x

    100-6x=50-x

    100-5x=50

    100=50+5x

    50=5x

    10=x

    Bag one:50-3 (10)

    50-30

    20kg

    50-10

    40kg
