Answer:

a) Equation for Snow Dome Ski Resort:

I_s = 65+t

Equation for Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort:

I_m = 74+\frac{t}{2}

b) After 19 hours, Snow dome will have more snow.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial snow at Snow Dome Ski Resort = 65 inches

Snowing rate at Snow Dome Ski Resort = 1 inch per hour

Initial snow at Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort = 74 inches

Initial snow at Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort = \frac{1}{2} inch per hour

a) To write equations that show amount of snow at each resort.

Let the time in hours be represented by t.

Snow increased in t hours by snowing at Snow Dome Ski Resort = 1\times t = t inches per hour

Snow increased in t hours by snowing at Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort = \frac{1}{2}\times t = \frac{t}{2} inches per hour

Equation for Snow Dome Ski Resort:

I_s = 65+t

Equation for Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort:

I_m = 74+\frac{t}{2}

b) Time at which Snow Dome has more snow.

Using the above equations, we can write the following inequality:

65+t>74+\dfrac{t}{2}\\\Rightarrow t-\dfrac{t}{2}>74-65\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{2}>9\\\Rightarrow t>18\ hours

After 18 hours have passed, they will have equal amount of snow.

After 19 hours, Snow dome will have more snow.

A) x • 3 + 4 = 22
b) 22-4= 18
so since 18 is left, what times 3 = 18? thats 6. so
6 x 3 + 4 = 22
we can check.
18 + 4 = 22
it equals 22 so thats your answer. x = 6. hopes this helps
