First, she needs to find her resting heart rate by counting her pulse for one minute immediately after she wakes up for 5 days in a row. She finds her average resting heart rate to be 62 after

5 days and she remembers the last day's pulse was 58 and all the others were the same. Write and solve an equation to find what her pulse was on all the other days. Justify your answer by showing your steps. Put in Simple equation

Answer:

63

Step-by-step explanation:

She finds her average resting heart rate to be 62 after  5 days.

That means, average of the 5 heart rate pulse=62

If the last day was 58 and all the other days were the same.

Let x be her pulse on the other days,

Then,

[tex]Average, 62=\dfrac{58+4x}{5}\\\text{Cross Multiply}\\58+4x=62 X 5\\\text{Suntract 58 from both sides}\\4x=(62X5)-58\\4x=310-58\\4x=252\\\text{Divide both sides by 4}\\x=63[/tex]

Her pulse on all the other days is 63.
