Question
Below $u, v, w$ and $x$ represent different integers, where $u = –4$ and $\text{x}\neq1$ By using following equations, find each of the values: $u \times v = u x \times w = w u + x = w$
$a. v$
$b. w$
$c. x$

Answer

We have, three equations $u \times v = u x \times w = w u + x = w$ and $u = -4$
$a.$ By puting the value of $u$ in $Eq.(i),$ we get $(-4) \times v = (-4)$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\frac{(-4)}{(-4)}=1$
$b.$ From $Eq.(ii),$ $\text{x}\times\text{w}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\text{w}}{\text{w}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=1$
But,
$\text{x}\neq1$
Hence, $x \times w = w, (ii)$ is possible, when $\text{w}=0(\text{x}\neq1)$
$c.$ From $Eq.(iii), u + x = w$
Put $u =$ and $w = 0$, we get
$\Rightarrow -4 + x = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 4$
$\therefore v = 1, x = 4$ and $w = 0$

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 $.........g.$
