How do you put this in an equation. A domestic cat can run at appends 27.5 per hour when chasing prey. At cheetah can run 42.5 miles per hour faster when catching prey. How fast can the cheetah run?

To express the speeds in an equation, let ( c ) represent the speed of the cheetah in miles per hour. Since the cheetah can run 42.5 miles per hour faster than the domestic cat, we can write the equation as ( c = 27.5 + 42.5 ). Solving this gives ( c = 70 ) miles per hour. Thus, the cheetah can run at a speed of 70 miles per hour.
