    The family bought 2 bags of chips.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let chips = C

    Let candy bars = B

    C + 2B = 5.50

    (0.75) + 2 (1.00) = 5.50

    The right side (5.50) is held constant.

    What must the left side [ (0.75) + 2 (1.00) ] be multiplied by to equal 5.50?

    Left side = 0.75 + 2 (1.00) = 2.75

    5.50 / 2.75 = 2

    Multiply left side by 2 to equal 5.50

    2 * (0.75 + 2 * 1.00) = 5.50

    1.50 + 4 = 5.50

    Or:

    2 * (C + 2B) = 5.50

    2 Bags of chips were bought.
