Find the age of the child through the young’s rule?
o.6 = y x A / y + 12
Find the age of the child through the Young’s rule : $$0.6 = \frac{y\times A}{y + 12}$$
0.6y + 7.2 = Ay
7.2 = Ay – 0.6y
y(A – 0.6) = 7.2
$$y=\frac{7.2}{A-0.6}$$
The average blood pressure of a person aged y years measure in millimetres of mercury (mm Hg), is given by P = 110 + y/2. At what age is a person’s blood pressure 124 mm Hg?
$$124=110+\frac{y}{2}$$
$$14=\frac{y}{2}$$
28 = y
∴ 28 years old
