Under typical conditions, 0.5 feet of snow will melt to 2 inches of water. To how many inches of water will 5.5 ft of snow melt?

x = 26 inches

2/0.5 = x/6.5

x = 6.5*2/0.5

x = 26 inches

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
