Osborne · Answer 1

60+5x = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of bags of potatoes be x.

We have been given that a grocery store receives a 180-pound crate containing six 10-pound bags of potatoes and an unknown number of 5-pound bags of potatoes.

The weight of 6 potato bags of 10 pound each will be pounds.

We can write an equation for the number of bags of potatoes by equating the weight of six 10-pound bags of potatoes and x 5-pound bags of potatoes with 180 pounds.

6*10+5x = 180

60+5x = 180

Therefore, the equation that represents the number of bags of potatoes in the crate is.
