2 Review Homework 2.2.4 Question Help A town has accumulated 5 inches of snow, and the snow depth is increasing by 5 inches every hour. A nearby town has accumulated 7 inches, and the depth is increasing by 2 inches every hour. In about how many hours will the snowfall of the towns be equal?​

Answer 1

You need to find the equations for each scenario and set them = to each other

Explanation:

A) S = 5t + 5

B) S = 7t + 2

Now set them = and solve for t

5t + 5 = 7t + 2

3 = 2t

t = 3/2 of an hr

To check plug in 3/2 into both equations and you should get same answer.
