SOLUTION:
The maximum recommended pulse rate R, when exercising, for a person who is x years of age is given by the equation R= 176 - 0.8x. What is the age, in years, of a person whose maximum recommended pulse rate when exercising is 140 ?
(A) 40
(B) 45
(C) 50
(D) 55
(E) 60
Substitute 140 for R: \(140 = 176 - 0.8x\) --> \(\frac{4}{5}x=36\) --> \(x=45\).
Answer: B.
