Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Cassi bought 50 pounds of dirt. She used 10 pounds to fill a hole in her yard. Then she filled pots with 5 pounds of soil in each pot. How many pots could she fill?

step 1

1) Cassi bought 50 pounds of dirt

She used 10 pounds to fill a hole in her yard

so

The remaining pounds of dirt are

2) Then she filled pots with 5 pounds of soil in each pot. How many pots could she fill?

The linear equation that represent this situation is

solve for x

Divide by 5 both sides

step-by-step explanation:

use pothagarean therom

a^2+b^2=c^2 so first ac

acm is a right triangle because c= 90°

and am (the hypotenuse or c) =16+9 =25

but there is not enough info we need another angle or side length
