Answer:
[tex]60+5x = 180[/tex]
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 [tex]6\times 10=60[/tex] 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.
[tex]6*10+5x = 180[/tex]
[tex]60+5x = 180[/tex]
Therefore, the equation that represents the number of bags of potatoes in the crate is [tex]60+5x = 180[/tex].
