If you're just trying to find 85% of 17, you would do 17 * .85 which gives us 14.45
You can work this out by rearranging the equation and isolating the x.
4x + 12 = 36
4x = 36 - 12 (I moved the +12 to the other side, which means it becomes -12)
4x = 24 (36 - 12 = 24)
x = 24 / 4 (You need to isolate the x, and because it was being multiplied by 4, I divided both sides by 4 to leave me with just x)
x = 6 (24 divided by 4 is 6).
Speed (v) = distance (d) / time (t)
so either the second or third. if this is realistic deer can't run 100 miles per hour so is say the second initially but to check what is .25miles/25s convert to hours. (3600 seconds in an hour) so .25*3600=900 then 900miles/25hour= 36miles/ hour.
