Answer:

14.5 inches of snow, S=T(H)+B

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is a linear equation. First, we will extract the important numbers

amount of snow at beginning=2

snow falling per hour=2.5

trying to find how much snow has fallen after 5 hours.

First, lets put this into an equation, variables will go as follows

total amount of snow=S

hours=H

snow at beginning=B

Rate of snow fall=T

Now, we make an equation

S=T(H)+B

Now, substitute the variables out

S=2.5(5)+2

Then, solve

S=12.5+2

S=14.5

For the second question, just put the equation you made as the answer
