Aresearcher has shown that diabetics patients who lose 10% of their body weight can significantly reduce their need for insulin. mary and and jose are diabetics and weight 160 and 220 pounds respectively. if they both want to lose 10% of their weight to try and gain this health benefit, what would their new weights need to be?

mary would need to weigh 144 pounds, jose would need to weigh 198 pounds.

i dont know sorry

step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
