On a snow day, Kayden created two snowmen in his backyard. Snowman A was built
to a height of 59 inches and Snowman B was built to a height of 34 inches. The next
day, the temperature increased and both snowmen began to melt. At sunrise,
Snowman A's height decrease by 7 inches per hour and Snowman B's height
decreased by 2 inches per hour. Let A represent the height of Snowman At hours
after sunrise and let B represent the height of Snowman B t hours after sunrise.
Write an equation for each situation, in terms of t, and determine the interval of
time, t, when Snowman A is taller than Snowman B.
A=

Answer:

  • A = 59 -7t
  • B = 34 -2t
  • t < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Snowman A starts at 59 inches and decreases height at 7 inches per hour. That height can be represented by ...

  A = 59 -7t

Snowman B starts at 34 inches and decreases height by 2 inches per hour. That height can be represented by ...

  B = 34 -2t

__

A is taller than B when ...

  A > B

  59 -7t > 34 -2t

  25 > 5t . . . . . . . . add 7t-34

  5 > t . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 5

A will be taller than B when t < 5.
