To predict the number of inches of snow after 10 hours using the equation \( y = 1.7x + 0.1 \), we need to substitute \( x = 10 \) into the equation.
\[
y = 1.7(10) + 0.1
\]
\[
y = 17 + 0.1
\]
\[
y = 17.1
\]
After rounding to the nearest tenth, the prediction for the number of inches of snow after 10 hours is **17.1 inches**.
\[
y = 1.7(10) + 0.1
\]
\[
y = 17 + 0.1
\]
\[
y = 17.1
\]
After rounding to the nearest tenth, the prediction for the number of inches of snow after 10 hours is **17.1 inches**.
