Why does Ms. Maudie say "it's a sin to kill a mockingbird?"How do her words affect the reader's understanding of the story plot? Chapter 11

2. What lesson do you think Atticus wants Jem to learn by having him read to Mrs. Dubose?

3. How does Atticus explain the insult "n-lover" to Scout? Do you agree or disagree with his advice to her? Explain.

Miss Maudie talks about all the things that mockingbirds do not do: "They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird" (To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 10). A mockingbird represents innocence in the story.

2. Overall, Atticus wants Jem to learn about "real courage" by reading to Mrs. Dubose and helping her conquer her morphine addiction. He wants Jem to see how Mrs. Dubose handles adversity in hopes that her courage will leave an indelible impression on his son.

3. When Scout asks Atticus what the term "n-lover" means, Atticus tells her that it is just one of those terms that doesn't mean anything. He proceeds to tell his daughter that it is a nasty term used by ignorant people who believe someone is favoring a Negro over and above themselves.

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

can you put the excerpt on here then i could you
