Question 38006: Please help me solve this problem.
The basal energy requirement B is the number of calories that a person needs to maintain the life process. For a 28-year old female with a height of 160 centimeters and a weight of 45 kilograms (kg), B is 1300 calories. If her weight increases to 50kg, then B is 1365 calories. There is a linear equation that expresses B in terms of her weight w. Find the equation and find the basal energy requirements if her weight is 53.2kg.
