NO answers please!!! Just explain to me how to get the answer! Thank you.
The body mass index, I, can be used to determine ans individual's risk for heart disease. An index less than 25 indicates a low risk. The body mass index is given by the formula, or model, I = 700w & H2, Where W = weight, in pounds, and H = height in inches. Jerome is 73 inches tall. What weights will keep his body mass index between 25 and 33?

To determine the weights that will keep Jerome's body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 33, we need to use the given formula and apply the constraints.
The formula for BMI is: I = 700 * W / H^2, where W is the weight in pounds and H is the height in inches.
Since we want to find the weights that result in a BMI between 25 and 33, we can set up the following inequality:
25 ≤ 700 * W / H^2 ≤ 33
To solve this inequality, we can start by multiplying both sides by H^2:
25 * H^2 ≤ 700 * W ≤ 33 * H^2
Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 700:
(25 * H^2) / 700 ≤ W ≤ (33 * H^2) / 700
Finally, substitute the value of H (73 inches) into the equation:
(25 * 73^2) / 700 ≤ W ≤ (33 * 73^2) / 700
Now, calculate the range for W:
(25 * 73 * 73) / 700 ≤ W ≤ (33 * 73 * 73) / 700
W ≈ 180.97 ≤ W ≤ 238.35
Therefore, Jerome's weight must be between approximately 180.97 pounds and 238.35 pounds to keep his BMI between 25 and 33.
