The fastest speed recorded for a cheetah is 70 mph. This is 11 mph less than 3 times the fastest running speed of a man. What is the fastest running speed for a man?

The answer is 19 2/3. You just have to set up the equation which would be 3x-11=70. Afterwards you just do order of operations to subtract 11 and divide by 3
