Which of the following persons is in a state of negative energy balance? A. A 29-year old woman who has maintained her weight for six months B. A 22-year old man who consumes 1900 kcal/day and is losing weight. C. A 23-year-old man who lifts weights every other day and has a BMI of 24. D. A 5-year-old girl who is healthy and physically active.

The correct answer is B. A 22-year old man who consumes 1900 kcal/day and is losing weight.

Explanation;

In health, negative energy balance occurs if the number of calories consumed is lower than the energy spent. This leads to weight loss as the body will need to use the fat or even content muscle in the body to supply the missing calories. This is shown in "22-year old man who consumes 1900 kcal/day and is losing weight" because the loss of weight indicates the 1900 kcal/day the man consumes are not enough to supply all the energy and metabolism.

x = -6.5

explanation:

with this editor, you should be careful to put what you mean. 5/(2x - 7) = 3/(4x +14) is the way i will interpret it. cross multiply

5*(4x + 14) = 3*(2x - 7)       remove the brackets

20x + 70 = 6x - 21             add 21 to both sides

20x+ 70+21= 6x                 combine

20x + 91 = 6x                     subtract 20x

20x-20x+91=6x-20x           combine

91 = - 14x

x = - 91/14

x = - 6.5
