Solution Preview
1. Quotient of 10 and 2 = 10/2 = 5
Product of 20 and 2 = 20 x 2 = 40
Quotient of 10 and 2 added to the product of 20 and 2= 40+5=45
2. N=0.07x + 4.1 (N in millions)
N = 6.2
x = (6.2-4.1)/0.07 = 30
Hence, 30 years after 1984 the projected enrollment for women is expected to reach 6.2 million. In the year 2014, (1984+30), this is expected.
3. r =0.6(220-a), where a represents a person's age and r represents that person's optimum heart rate (in beats per minute).
r = 120
Therefore, 120 = 0.6(220-a)
Or, 220-a= 120/0.6 = ...
