Answer:

The equation is (2+x) / 4 = 3

Total amount of chopped vegetables = 10 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Meat=2 pounds

Vegetables=x

Mixture= 2+x

She divides the mixture into 4 equal portions

(2+x)/4

Each portion weighs 3 pounds

(2+x)/4=3

Solve the equation

(2+x)/4=3

Cross product

(2+x) = 4 × 3

2+x=12

x=12-2

=10

x=10 pounds

Total amount of chopped vegetables = 10 pounds
