At the beginning of a snowstorm, Nathaniel had 5 inches of snow on his lawn. The snow then began to fall at a constant rate of 1.5 inches per hour.
Assuming no snow was melting, how much snow would Nathaniel have on his
lawn 5 hours after the snow began to fall? How much snow would Nathaniel
have on his lawn after t hours of snow falling?
Snow after 5 hours:
Show after t hours:

In 5 hours he would have 7.5 inches of snow JUST from the snowstorm but the question says that he already had 5 inches in his lawn so that would make 12.5 inches of snow in 5 hours.

The second one says t, it doesn't state a number so lets assume the number is ten. So that's 5 more hours of constant snowfall, this makes our total be the sum of 12.5+7.5. This is equal to 20.

10 hours into the snowstorm Nathaniel had 20 inches of snow in his lawn.

Consider a brainliest if it helps :)
