Brett has consumed 1,400 calories so far today. He has also burned off 400 calories at the gym. He would like to keep his daily calorie total to 2,000 calories per day. How many calories does he have left to consume for the day? Is 1,200 a viable solution to this problem? I NEEED HELPP PLZZ :(
A Yes; 1,200 is less than 1,400.
B Yes; 1,200 is less than 2,000.
C No; 1,200 is more than the 400 he burned off at the gym.
D No; 1,200 will cause him to exceed 2,000.

Answer

D

Step-by-step explanation:

D is correct because 1,400-400= 1,000

so he can only consume 1,000 more calories so 1,200 will cause him to go over 2,000

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
