0.015 represents how much snow is added to the lawn every minute

What is an equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement which equate two algebraic expressions.

  • Here the equation given is s=0.015x+2.5 where s represents how many inches of snow were on the lawn and x represents  the number of minutes past noon and 2.5 is constant.

How to find what the number 0.015 represents in the equation?

  • In the equation, s represents how many inches of snow were on the lawn. So 0.015x and 2.5 should also represent how many inches of snow were on the lawn.
  • Now x represents the number of minutes past noon.

So to make 0.015x represent how many inches of snow were on the lawn, 0.015 should represent the amount of snow is added to the lawn per minute.

So, 0.015 represents how much snow is added to the lawn every minute
