Question
$6x + 5 = 2x + 17$

Answer

We have
$6x + 5 = 2x + 17$
Transposing $2x$ to $L.H.S$. and $5$ to $R.H.S$., we get
$6x - 2x = 17 - 5$
$4x = 12$
Dividing both sides by $4$, we get
$\frac{4\text{x}}{4}=\frac{12}{4}$
$\text{x}=3$
Verification:
Substituting $x = 3$ in the given equation, we get
$6 × 3 + 5 = 2 × 3 + 17$
$18 + 5 = 6 + 17$
$23 = 23$
$L.H.S. = R.H.S.$
Hence, verified.

Designing a Healthy Diet
When you design your healthy diet, you want to make sure that you meet the dietary requirements to help you grow into a healthy adult. As you plan your menu, follow the following guidelines.
$1.$ Calculate your ideal weight as per your height from the table given at the end of this question.
$2.$ An active child should eat around $55.11$ calories for each kilogram desired weight.
$3. \ 55\%$ of calories should come from carbohydrates. There are $4$ calories in each gram of carbohydrates.
$4. \ 15\%$ of your calories should come from proteins. There are $4$ calories in each gram of proteins.
$5. \ 30\%$ of your calories may come from fats. There are $9$ calories in each gram of fats.
Following is an example to design your own healthy diet.
Example:
$1.$ Ideal weight $= 40\ kg.$
$2.$ The number of calories needed $= 40 \times 55.11 = 2204.4$
$3.$ Calories that should come from carbohydrates
$= 2204.4 \times 0.55 = 1212.42$ calories.
Therefore, required quantity of carbohydrates
$=\frac{1212.40}{4}=303.105\text{g}=300\text{g.}$
$4.$ Calories that should come from proteins
$= 2204.4 \times 0.15 = 330.66$ calories.
Therefore, required quantity of protein
$=\frac{330.66}{4}\text{g}=82.66\text{g}.$
$5.$ Calories that may come from fat $= 2204.4 \times 0.3$
$= 661.3$ calories.
Therefore, required quantity of fat
$=\frac{661.3}{9}\text{g}=73.47\text{g.}$
$1.$ Your ideal desired weight is $.......... kg.$
$2.$ The quantity of calories you need to eat is $........g$
$3.$ The quantity of protein needed is $.........g.$
$4.$ The quantity of fat required is $.........g.$
$5.$ The quantity of carbohydrates required is $.........g.$
