Equation

Sagot :

Answer:

  • 20x + 10 = 90
  • 4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pounds is x.

Consider the time for preheat and set the equation:

  • 20x + 10 = 90

Solve for x to find the weight:

  • 20x = 90 - 10
  • 20x = 80
  • x = 80/20
  • x = 4

Let the no of lbs be p

The equation is

  • 20p+10=90

On solving

  • 20p=80
  • p=4lbs
