Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

open bracket

2X +12 = X- 2

2X-X = -2-12

X = -14

A cheetah ran 300 feet in 2.92 seconds. What was the cheetah’s average speed in miles per hour? Show your work.
alexdok [17]

Answer:

about 70.0 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed = distance/time

(300 ft)/(2.92 s)·(1 mi)/(5280 ft)·(3600 s)/(1 h) = (300·3600/(2.92·5280)) mi/h

≈ 70.0498 mi/h
