Question 96851: The ideal male body weight, w (in pounds), can be determined from a man's height, h (in inches) using the formula w = 110 + 5(h-60). Solve the formula for h and write a reason for each step. Use the results to find the height of a man with an ideal weight of 135 pounds.

Solve for h.
Isolate the variable term by subtracting 110 from both sides.
Divide both sides by 5 to further isolate the variable term.
Finally, add 60 to both sides to solve.
This can be simplified further to get:

If w = 135 pounds, then the height is:

inches.
