How many calories are burned from exertion and how many for thermoregulation (regulating body temperature)? Round to nearest whole number.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let $\"+x+\"$ = calories burned from exertion
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+11200+-+x+\"$ = calories burned for thermoregulation
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5.375+%2F+1+=+x+%2F+%28+11200+-+x+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+5.375%2A%28+11200+-+x+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+60200+-+5.375x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6.375x+=+60200+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+9443.14+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+11200+-+x+=+11200+-+9443.14+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+11200+-+x+=+1756.86+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "9,443.14 calories burned from exertion
\n" ); document.write( "1,756.86 calories for thermoregulation
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
