The equation could be used to find the maximum speed of a hippopotamus h is C. 75 = 3h + 18

The question has to do with linear equation

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is a mathematical expression in which the highest power of the unknown is 1.

How to find the equation for the maximum speed of the hippopotamus

Let

  • x = speed of cheetah and
  • h = speed of hippopotamus

Given that the maximum speed, in miles per hour, of a cheetah is 18 more than 3 times  the maximum speed of the hippopotamus

Now, since the maximum speed of the hippopotamus is h, 3 times the maximum speed of the hippopotamus is 3h.

Since the cheetah is 18 more than 3 times  the maximum speed of the hippopotamus, we have that

x = 3h + 18

Substituting x = 75 into the equation, we have

75 = 3h + 18

So, the equation could be used to find the maximum speed of a hippopotamus h is C. 75 = 3h + 18
