Answer:

5r + (5 x 6) = 84

looking for rice per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

5r + (5 x 6) = 84

This shows an equation where we need to make r the subject to establish how many pounds a bag of rice weighs.

5r + (5 x 6) = 84

5r + (30) = 84

5r = 84-30

5r = 54/5

r = 10 4/5

r = 10.8 pounds
