\n" ); document.write( "The body mass index,I, can be used to determine an individuals risk of heart disease. An index less then 25 indicates a low risk. The body mass index is given by the formula 700w/H^2, where W= weight in lbs. and H = the height in in.

\"I=%28700w%29%2Fh%5E2\" Start with the given equation \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"I=%28700w%29%2F%2873%29%5E2\" Plug in \"h=73\" (the given height)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"I=%28700w%29%2F5329\" Square 73 to get 5,329\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since we want the body index to be in between 19 and 27, this means we must construct the following inequality\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"19%3C=I%3C=27\" ... this says that the body mass index \"I\" is greater than or equal to 19 AND is less than or equal to 27 (ie it is between 19 and 27)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"19%3C=%28700w%29%2F5329%3C=27\" Plug in \"I=%28700w%29%2F5329\" (from above)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5329%2A19%3C=cross%285329%29%28700w%29%2Fcross%285329%29%3C=5329%2A27\" Multiply ALL sides by 5,329\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"101251%3C=700w%3C=143883\" Multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"101251%2F700%3C=cross%28700%29w%2Fcross%28700%29%3C=143883%2F700\" Divide ALL sides by 700 to isolate w\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"144.644%3C=w%3C=205.547\" Divide\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"145%3C=w%3C=206\" Round to the nearest whole number\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So his weight must be within 145 and 206 pounds to have a body mass index between 19 and 27. \r
