Question

Taisha uses the elliptical cross- trainer at the gym. Her general goal is to burn 280 calories per workout, but she varies by as much as 25 calories from this amount on any given day. Write and solve an equation to find the maximum and minimum number of calories taisha burns on the cross-trainer

Answer 1

5*5=25

Explanation:

5*2=10

5*3=15

15+10=25

Answer 2

Given - Taisha has a general goal is to burn the 280 calories.

she is varies by the 25 calories.

Find out the maximum and minimum of calories burn by the taisha.

To proof -

let us assume that the calories burn by the taisha be x.

as given the calories are varies by the 25 calories.

then the maximum calories equation becomes

x-25 = 280

x = 280 + 25

x = 305

the maximum calories burn by the taisha is 305 calories.

minimum calories equationbecomes

x + 25 = 280

x = 255

The minmum calories burn by the taisha is 255 calories.

Hence proved
