we conclude that at 5:00 p.m. there are 8 more inches of snow than at 8:00 a.m.
<h3>How many more inches of snow were on the ground at 5:00 p.m. than at 8:00 a.m.?</h3>
We know that at 8:00 a.m. there were t inches of snow in the ground.
At 5:00 p.m. there were 3t inches of snow in the ground.
Then the difference between the heights of the snow is:
3t- t = 2t
And we know that at 5:00 p.m. there were 12 inches of snow then we can solve the linear equation for t:
3t = 12in
t = (12in)/3 = 4 in
Replacing that in the difference of heights:
2t = 2*4in = 8in
From this, we conclude that at 5:00 p.m. there are 8 more inches of snow than at 8:00 a.m.

Second answer if it still helps
Answer:
570 adults and 215 children
Step-by-step explanation:
did this assignment and got it right
5a + 2c = 3280 where a is adults and c is children
subtraction eliminates c, find a
3a + 0 = 1710
a = 1710/3
a = 570 adult and then you have to subtract 785-570= 215 children
F(x) = x - 5
F(7) = 7 - 5
F(7) = 2
Answer: 2
A. Given (This is part of the original problem)
b. Supplementary angles form 180 degrees (The definition of supplementary angles is that two or more angles have a sum of 180 degrees. DC is a straight line and has a measure of 180 degrees)
c. Substitution (Given the two previous statements, they are each equal to 180 degrees. Since 180=180 then you can substitute the angles in the equation.)
d. Subtraction (m<2 is being subtracted)
e. Subtraction postulate (Since the same quantity was being subtracted from each side of the equation, they are still equal)
