Question

I need EXTRA help with this PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

A grocery store receives a crate with contents that weigh 180 pounds. The contents consist of six 10-pound bags of potatoes and an unknown number of 5-pound bags of potatoes. Choose an equation that represents the number of bags of potatoes in the crate.

A: 6(10) + 180 = 5x
B: 10 + 6 + 5x = 180
C: 180 = 5 + 60x
D: 6(10) + 5x = 180

Answer 1

I think is A: 6(10) + 180 = 5x

Answer 2

6(10)+5x=180

Explanation:

This is because there are 6 10-pound bags that we know of, so it would be 6(10).

Then, there are an unknown number of 5-pound bags, in which the variable would be x, so it would be 5x.

Lastly, the content weighs 180 pounds, so that's what the equation would be equal to.
