Given :
Rain is falling at 0.5 inches per hour and 1.5 inches have already accumulated.
To Find :
How many hours must have passed if there are 5 inches of rain .
Solution :
Let , after x hours rain accumulated is 5 inches .
We know , general equation of line :
y = mx +c
Here , m = 0.5 and c = 1 .
So , equation of rain accumulated is :

Now , putting value of x = 5 hours .
We get :

Hence , this is the required solution .
-2 1/2 / 6 would be -5/12, just turn - 2 1/2 into a decimal and divide by 6 :)
Answer:
x = 0
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 9y = 18 ---------eqn 1
y = x + 2---------eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 into eqn 1, for the value of y
3x + 9( x + 2) = 18
3x + 9x + 18 = 18
12x + 18 = 18
12x = 18 -18
12x = 0
Divide both sides by 12 , to get the value of x.
12x/ 12 = 0/12
x = 0
Substitute x = 0 into eqn 2
y = x + 2
y = 0 +2
y = 2
Hint: to confirm the values
x = 0
y = 2
Let's take eqn 1 ,
3x + 9y = 18
3(0) + 9(2)
= 0 + 18
= 18
Correct
Let's take eqn 2
y = x + 2
Let's find y
y = 0 + 2
y = 2
Correct too
