Why It Matters: Real Numbers and Algebraic Expressions
Why solve linear equations and inequalities?

where
- B = percentage of BAC
- t = number of hours since the first drink
- N = number of “standard drinks” (a standard drink is one -ounce beer, one -ounce glass of wine, or one -ounce shot of liquor). N should be at least .
- W = weight in pounds
- g = gender constant: for men and for women
