Z = (x - m)/s
z = (38-40)/8
z = -2/8
z = -1/4
z = -0.25
The z score is -0.25
[ Answer ]

[ Explanation ]
- System Of Equations

-----------------------------------

- Isolate x for x + x + 10 = 10: x = 0
For y = 10
Substitute x = 0
Y = 0 + 10
0 + 10 = 10
y = 10
X = 0
Y = 10

I think it is 8/17...

what do you need help with?
y = total snow accumulated
x = hours
the ground has 0.2 inches of snow before the data starts
y = 1.5x+0.2
0 hours = x = 0, so y = 0.2 inches
after 9 hours, we predict that 13.7 inches of snow will have accumulated
y = 1.5(9)+0.2 = 13.7
