A runner’s heart rate in beats per minute is given by the formula Heart rate = 65 + 53 / (4t + 1) where t is the number of minutes after the start of a cool-down period. Find the runner’s heart rate in 10 minutes.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "H.R. = 65 + \"53%2F%284%2810%29%2B1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "H.R. = 65 + \"53%2F41\"
\n" ); document.write( "H.R. = 65 + 1.3
\n" ); document.write( "H.R. = 66.3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When is the runner’s heart rate equal to 68 beats per minute?
\n" ); document.write( "65 + \"53%2F%284t%2B1%29\" = 68
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 65 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"53%2F%284t%2B1%29\" = 68 - 65
\n" ); document.write( "\"53%2F%284t%2B1%29\" = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides (4t+1)
\n" ); document.write( "53 = 3(4t+1)
\n" ); document.write( "53 = 12t + 3
\n" ); document.write( "53 - 3 = 12t
\n" ); document.write( "50 = 12t
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"50%2F12\"
