There are 3 inches of snow on the ground when it begins to snow 0.5 inches per hour.
which linear equation represents the total depth of the snow, in inches, after x hours?

y=0.5x+3

3+y=0.5x

y=0.5x

x=0.5y

The answer is y=0.5x+3

There are 3 inches of snow on the ground: y = 3
When it begins to snow 0.5 inches per hour: y = 0.5x
There are 3 inches of snow on the ground when it begins to snow 0.5 inches per hour: y = 0.5x + 3

The answer is lol i dont know
