In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.
Step 01:
Data
price of a pound of tomato = x
number of pounds of tomato to buy = 2
total price to pay = y = 6$
Step 02:
total price to pay = (number of pounds of tomato to buy * price of a pound of tomato)
6 = 2 * x
6 = 2 x
The answer is:
The equation that represents the situation is 2 x = 6
