12(m-5)=540. 12 calories per. total minutes goes first in subtraction which is m. Minus 5 minutes.

Answer:

12(m-5) = 540

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total calories have to burn = 540,

Here m represents the total time spent by Anzelm,

If he spent 5 minutes in rest,

Then the time he spent in jogging = (m - 5) minutes,

If the calories burnt in one minute = 12 calories,

Thus, the calories burnt in (m-5) minutes = 12(m-5),

Hence, for burning whole calories,

12(m-5) = 540

Which is the required equation.
