4. The ideal weight of a man is given by the formula w = 110 + 5 (h - 60), where h is the

man's height in inches and w is the weight in pounds. Calculate the height for a man

whose ideal weight is 195 lbs. (Make sure your answer has units.)

Answer: 77inches = 6ft 5inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula as w = 110 + 5 (h - 60), to calculate the height h for a man given weight as 195 lbs.

Slot the value into the formula:

195lbs = 110 + 5 (h - 60)

Open the bracket:

195 = 110 + 5h - 300

Isolate 5h in the equation

-5h = 110 - 300 - 195

-5h = - 385

Divide both sides by - 5

h = - 385/-5

h = 77 inches

77 inches = 6ft 5inches
