Question 436488: Lifting weights can increase a
person’s muscle mass. Each additional pound of
muscle burns an extra 40 calories per day. Write a
linear function that models the number of calories
burned each day by x pounds of muscle. By burning
an extra 3500 calories a person can lose
1 pound of fat. How many pounds of muscle are
needed to burn 1 pound of fat in 30 days?
I have the formula of : f(x)= ax + b
I am not sure where to start?
