Question

one year it snowed a total of 20 in. in January and February, it snowed three times as many inches in January then in February. how much did it snow each month? ​

Answer 1

Make an equation where x is the amount it snowed in February.
3x+x=20
4x=20
X=5
It snowed 5 in. in February.
5(3)=15
It snowed 15 in. in January.
