The number is -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number then according to given statement

$4x+10 = x-17$

Subtracting 10 from both sides

$4x+10-10 = x-17-10\\4x = x-27$

Subtracting x from both sides

$4x-x = x-x-27\\3x = -27$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{-27}{3}\\ x = -9$

<u>Verification:</u>

$4(-9)+10 = -9-17\\-36+10=-26\\-26=-26$

The number is -9

Lets convert

1mile=5280ft
1h=3600s

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 1mph$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto \dfrac{5280}{3600}ft/s$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 1.46ft/s$

If rounded

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 1.5ft/s$
