Bukra had two bags A and B, containing sugar. If he removed 2 kg of sugar from bag A and added it to bag B, the mass of sugar in bag B would be four times the
mass of the sugar in bag A. If he added 10 kg of sugar to the original amount of sugar in each bag, the mass of sugar in bag B would be twice the mass of the sugar in bag A. Calculate the original mass of sugar in each bag. Form 2 MathematicsForm 1 Mathematics
