Answer 1

The crate holds six 10-pound bags of rice and an unknown number of 5-pound bags of rice.

Choose the equation that represents this situation.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathcal\colorbox{lime}{{\color{b}\huge\ \:{Aɴsᴡᴇʀ \: }}}$

Equation that represents the number of bags of rice in the crate is 6 (10 ) + 5x = 180

Let x be the unknown number of 5 pound bags of potatoes.

• Then weight of these rice bag = 5x

Also we have six 10 pound bags.

• Total weight of these bags = 6 x ( 10 )

Given total weight of potato received by the store = 180 pounds

Hence we can deduce that

6 ( 10 ) + 5x = 180
