Weight of male algebra

Question

The recommended weight of an adult male is given by the formula w=17/3h-225, where w represents his recommended weight in pounds and h represents his height in inches . Determine the height of a man whose recommended weight is 132 pounds. A man whose recommended weight is 132 pounds is how many inches tall.

Answer 1

I must say that when problems are listed, it is hard to tell whether formulas have division or exponents....

But here I had to use: w = (17/3)h - 225 (17/3)h = 357 h = 63 inches
