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

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+33+y=0.5xy=0.5xx=0.5y
