Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

When a cardboard box is empty, its weight is 0.6 pounds.

It is filled with 15 bags of beans and a 4-pound bag of rice.

The total weight of the box and the contents inside it is 25.6 pounds.

Let the weight of 15 bean bags is 15b. The given scenario can be represented by the equation as follows :

0.6+15b+4=25.6 ....(A)

Taking like terms together,

15b=25.6-0.6-4 ...(1)

15b = 21  ....(2)

Equation (1) or (2) can be the equivalent equation for the equation (A).
