Answer:
170 heart beat per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
While exercising, a person’s recommended target heart rate is a function of age. The recommended number of beats per minute, y, is given by the function y = f(x) = − 0.85x + 187 where x represents a person’s age in years.
So, if my age is 21 years i.e. x = 21, then the number of recommended heart beats per minute for my age will be
y = f(21) = - 0.85(21) + 187 = - 17.85 + 187 = 169.15 ≈ 170. (Answer)

An equation that correctly represent this relationship if x represents the number of pounds of fertilizer and y the number of ounces of weed killer is 0.5x + 3.5y = 70
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that, Bill spent 70 on fertilizer and weed killer for his lawn
Each pound of fertilizer cost 50 cents and each once of weed killer cost 3.50
We have to write an equation, if x represents the number of pounds of fertilizer and y the number of ounces of weed killer.
Now,<em> total amount = amount for fertilizers + amount for weed killers.</em>
Total amount = number of pounds of fertilizers x cost per pound + number of ounces of weed killer x cost per ounce.

Hence, the equation is 0.5x + 3.5y = 70
