x - 7
That's all I can get from your question.

@jaxiblu the only other stuff is a chart of other animals and their speed. also thank you

anonymous · Answer

Does it have the speed of a human?
That would make it
j-7 = (speed of human)

1dfanatic · Answer

nope just other animals.

If so, human is 28
Therefore
j - 7 = 28
You'd add 7 to both sides
And j would be 35
Therefore the speed of the jackal would be 35 mi/h.

OK great! Sometimes charts can be confusing. Pre-calculus and sometimes I still get confused by them. :)
