Question 11 options:
There are three pumpkins. The pumpkins average 5 pounds. The first pumpkin weighs 5 pounds. The second pumpkin weighs 4 pounds. How much does the third pumpkin weigh?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the third pumpkin weighs 6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] (\frac{5 + 4 + x}{3} ) = 5[/tex]

multiple both sides by 3

[tex]5 + 4 + x = 15[/tex]

[tex]9 + x = 15[/tex]

subtract 9 from both sides

[tex]x = 6[/tex]
