Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Expression for each situation:Given, On Monday it snowed a certain amount.  Let the amount of snow on Monday be n. On Tuesday it snowed 3 times as much as Monday.  Then, [tex]\text{{amount of snow on Tuesday}}= \text{{amount of snow on Monday}}\times 3[/tex] amount of snow on Tuesday = 3 x n = 3n On Wednesday it snowed twice as much as Monday.  Then,[tex]\text{{amount of snow on wednesday}}= \text{{amount of snow on Monday}}\times 2[/tex] amount of snow on Wednesday = 2 x n = 2n On Thursday it snowed the same amount as Monday,  Then, amount of snow on Thursday = amount of snow on Monday   amount of snow on Thursday = n Hence, we have written expressions for each situation.
