You can put this solution on YOUR website!
formula is c = 15 + 50w
\n" ); document.write( "c is the cook time in minutes
\n" ); document.write( "w is the weight in kilograms
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 15 from both sides of the equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "c - 15 = 50w
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of the equation by 50 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "(c-15)/50 = w
\n" ); document.write( "switch sides of the equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "w = (c-15)/50
\n" ); document.write( "the cook time is 1 hour and 35 minutes = 95 minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "formula becomes w = (95-15)/50
\n" ); document.write( "solve for w to get w = 1.6 kilograms
\n" ); document.write( "confirm by going back to the original equation and replacing w with 1.5
\n" ); document.write( "you get c = 15 + 50w becomes c = 15 + 50 * 1.6 which becomes c = 15 + 80 which becomes c = 95 minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "solution of w = 1.6 kilograms is good.\r
