Allentown got 2 feet less than twice the amount of snow Georgetown got. Allentown got 3 feet more snow than Georgetown. How many feet of snow did Allentown (x) get than Georgetown (y) each get?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
a = ft snow that Allentown got
g = ft snow that Georgetown got
Allentown got 2 feet less than twice the amount of snow Georgetown got
a = 2g - 2
Allentown got 3 feet more snow than Georgetown
a = 3 + g
by solving the system of equations
a = 2g - 2
a = 3 + g
we find
a = 8 ft snow
g = 5 ft snow
