What’s the answer to the question down below

Any linear equation can be written as

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

m = 1/2 in this case. It represents the idea that the snow fell at a rate of 1/2 inch per hour. In other words, the snow level went up 1/2 an inch each time an hour passed by.

b = 8 is the y intercept. It's the starting amount of snow. We start off with 8 inches of snow already.

The info "snow fell for 9 hours" doesn't appear to be relevant here.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
