Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−2(x+14)+1=5

Answer:

x = -2 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x + 1/4) + 1 = 5

-2x - 1/2 + 1 = 5

-2x + 1/2 = 5

-2x = 5 - 1/2

-2x = 4 1/2

-x = 2 1/4

x = -2 1/4

Hope this helps!

Let me know if I'm wrong :)

A cheetah ran 300 feet in 2.92 seconds . What was the cheetah's average speed in miles per hour ? Show your work .
vivado [14]
Cheetah ran 300 feet in 2.92 seconds.

Average speed in miles per hour.

Converting 300 feet to mile.
5280 feet  =  1 mile
1 feet    =    (1/5280) mile
300 feet =    (1/5280) * 300 = (300/5280) = (30/528) = (10/176) mile.

2.92 seconds to hour.
3600 seconds  =    1 hour
1 second          =  (1/3600) hour
2.92 seconds    =    2.92 * (1/3600) =  (2.92/3600) hour.

Speed of Cheetah in miles per hour =    (10/176) mile  /  (2.92/3600) hour
                                                     =  70.05 miles/hour
