For a 28 year old felame with a height of 160 kilometers and a weight of 45 kilograms, B is 1300 calories.  If her weight increases to 50 kilograms, then B is 1365 calories.  There is a linear equation that expresses B in terms of her weight.  Find the equation and find the basal energy requirment if her weight is 53.2 kilograms </SPAN>\n" );
