The mathematical model $$ \frac{W}{2}-3 H=53 $$ describes a weight, W, in pounds, that lies within the healthy weight range for a person whose height is \(H\) inches over 5 feet. Use this information to solve Exercises 105-106. Use the formula to find a healthy weight for a person whose height is \(5^{\prime} 6^{\prime \prime}\).
Solve each formula for the specified variable. Do you recognize the formula? If so, what does it describe? \(a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1) d\) for \(n\)
An alligator's tail length is proportional to its body length. An alligator with a body length of 4 feet has a tail length of 3.6 feet. What is the tail length of an alligator whose body length is 6 feet?
In 2010 , there were 13,300 students at college \(A\), with a projected enrollment increase of 1000 students per year. In the same year, there were 26,800 students at college B, with a projected enrollment decline of 500 students per year. According to these projections, when will the colleges have the same enrollment? What will be the enrollment in each college at that time?
Use the five-step strategy for solving word problems to find the number or numbers described in Exercises 1-10. When five times a number is decreased by 4 , the result is 26 . What is the number?
