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

If we work it through:

70mph is 11mph less than 3 times the fastest running speed for a man.

So 70 + 11 = 81mph is 3 times the fastest running speed for a man.

Can you see where to go from here?
