Excerpt from Chasing a Dream
Elizabeth Kibler
My riding experiences began three years ago at a local riding school. Watching horse races on television sparked my interest in
learning to ride. The first day I arrived at the school, I was nervous but excited. When I stepped out of my car into the fresh air,
knew I had made the right decision. The horses in the barn neighed and whinnied at one another. I saw some of the other
students taking their horses for a walk. Then, I mustered up courage and walked toward the barn.

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

amazing

explanation:

i really like the quality of it and how it's been played keep it up

the answer is 4

thats really weird lol
