Iam writing a poem to send off to the 2015 k1 poetry contest. tell be what you think and any adjustments i need to make.
change
bullying hurts, don't you see?
your nothing but a big bully.
harsh words, and tortured hearts,
scars and wounds, oh where do i start!
don't you think of what could happen?
what if they cry themselves to sleep,
and by morning its too hard to get on their feet.
what if they put a razor to their skin?
or write a note to say goodbye,
their family and friends left wondering why?
their afraid to go to school,
because of bullies like you.
the words you say, do make bruises,
but they don't fade away.
deep scars that stay on their hearts,
a new scar forming everyday.
so instead of hurting them,
just make a change.
for you and me,
don't be sane.

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

answer: we need to see the ads : )
