A distant galaxy is observed with a spectrometer. This galaxy produces an emission line that is identified as a Hydrogen transition that normally has a wavelength of 21 cm. For this galaxy, however, the emission line is observed at a wavelength of 35 cm. How fast is this galaxy moving away from us in units of km/s [round off your answer to 1 km/s]
