Divide by 2
a + 3 = -6
Subtract 3
a = -9
2)
3(p + 2) = 18
Divide by 3
p + 2 = 6
Subtract 2
p = 4
3)

Answer:
at 12 hours, it's 9 inches.
at 14 hours, it's 14 inches.
at 13 hours it's 16 inches.
I'm not sure if you needed how many inches it snowed an hour, or if you just needed the hours and inches. My apologies.
9u-9t=18
original no. is 10t+u
reversed no. is 10u+t
so its (10u+t)-(10t+u)=18
which gives 9u-9t=18
