My Contract with Henry," Beth learns about Henry David Thoreau's life and ideas. Write a narrative from Beth's point of view as she tries to explain to her mother what it means to live life according to Thoreau's ideas

Answer and Explanation:

Beth saw Thoreau as a great tutor for life and so. That's because she saw, in Thoreau's words, a great teaching about how people should live, not only in relation to transcendentality and love of nature, but because she saw that Thoreau's ideas showed the guidelines for having an independent life, without chains that bind you to superfluous concepts and that have no real importance to promote a good life. She also believes that Thoreau teaches her how to live a reflective life based on her own concepts, because no one knows an individual, like himself. These are the thoughts Beth wants to pass on to her mother.

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50
