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.

Answer:
Sister = 15 years old
Brother = 12 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Right now, if the brother is B years old and the sister is S years old, B = (4/5)S because the ratio from brother to sister is 4:5, so if one unit is X, B = 4X and S = 5X
Three years ago, the brother was B-3 years old and the sister was S-3 years old. Keeping one unit as X, we have
B = 3X
S = 4X
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Therefore, we have a system of equations
B = (4/5)S
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Substitute (4/5)S for B into the second equation to only have one variable
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)(S-3)
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)S - 9/4
add 3 to both sides and subtract (3/4)S from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient
(1/20)S = 3/4
multiply both sides by 20 to isolate the S
S = 15
B = (4/5)S = 12
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The quotient is 18
Move all the x terms to one side and solve for x. 15x-10x=21-6 : 5x/5=15/5 : x=3
