Any linear equation can be written as
y = mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
m = 1/2 in this case. It represents the idea that the snow fell at a rate of 1/2 inch per hour. In other words, the snow level went up 1/2 an inch each time an hour passed by.
b = 8 is the y intercept. It's the starting amount of snow. We start off with 8 inches of snow already.
The info "snow fell for 9 hours" doesn't appear to be relevant here.
<h2>6 is the answer.</h2>
just simple
Answer:
3x+5=5x-9(llgram oppositesides are equal)
3x-5x= -9-5
-2x=-14
x= -14/-2
x=7
