Two towns accumulated different amounts of snow. In town 1, the snow depth is increasing by 3 1/2 inches every hour. In town 2 the snow depth is increasing by 2 1/4 inches every hour. In how many hours will the snowfalls of the towns be equal?

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
