As i washed the unfinished food down the drain and collected the paper plates to throw out, i considered my ancestors. what would they think of this excess and waste? they would have spent days on a hunt to take down a single bison and then painstakingly find a use for every single part. was our heritage picnic becoming a dishonor to their legacy? which detail most clearly gives this passage a reflective tone? a. the facts about traditional hunting. b. the question about excess and waste. c. mention of the narrator's ancestors. d. the thoughts on the picnic's success.

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

hey kid learn to actually put time and effort into your school work and maybe you would get higher grades and not have to come on this website and beg for answer's
