Answer:
the greatest common factor is 2, so the expression could be rewritten
From the graph of the linear functions, we have that both snowman's will have the same height of 21 inches after 5 hours.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
For this problem, we have that:
- The initial height is the intercept.
- The melting rate, as a negative, is the slope.
Hence the functions are given as follows:
- A(t) = 51 - 6t.
- B(t) = 36 - 3t.
The functions are graphed at the end of the answer, with <u>A(t) in red and B(t) in blue,</u> and they intersect at (5,21), meaning that both snowman's will have the same height of 21 inches after 5 hours.
