To formulate the equation that shows the cost of 10 pounds of potatoes is 8 dollars we proceed as follows;
suppose the cost 1 pound is x;
thus,
total cost=(amount in pounds)*(price of one pound)
total cost=$8
amount=10 pounds
cost of one pound=x
thus the equation is;
8=10x
Change the fraction into a decimal

Answer: x = -6</h2>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
To solve for x, we have to find a way to make x the subject of the equation (get x on one side and everything else on the other side)
<h3>
</h3>
since -4 = (2/3)x [mutiply both sides by 3]
⇒ -4 × 3 = 2x [divide both sides by 2]
⇒ (-12/2) = x [simplify by dividing -12 by 2]
∴ x = -6
I can’t answer it doesn’t have enough information
Well 52 divided by 8 is 6.2 so..
