Now write three body paragraphs for your essay based on your outline. Each paragraph should contain four to five sentences. Remember that your body paragraphs should support the thesis in your introduction paragraph. Situation: Many parents of 6th-graders feel left out of their children’s education. Technology such as web cameras and the Internet could help parents feel more involved.

Directions: Determine your opinion about having web cameras in each classroom. How do you feel about parents going online at any time to see their child in class?

Prompt: Write an essay to convince your principal to agree with your point of view.

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

so whats the question?

is it "means of nourishment"
