Vishal wants to burn at least 2,400 calories during his weekly workouts. He burns 400 calories per hour swimming and 600 calories per hour rollerblading. He decides to swim for 3 hours this week. How many hours must he rollerblade to reach his goal?

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the calorie burn rates are:

swimming: 400 cal / hour

rollerblading: 600 cal / hour

If he swims for 3 hours, he will burn:

400 cal / hour x 3 hours

= 1200 cal

Since his goal is 2400 calories, the number of calories that he has left to burn after swimming is:

2400 - 1200

= 1200 calories.

Number of hours of rollerblading to burn 1200 calories

= 1200 calories ÷ 600 calories per hour

= 2 hours

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
