English questions| and you read this excerpt from "goodbye to all that" by joan didion. part of what i want to tell you is what it is like to be young in new york, how six months can become eight years with the deceptive ease of a film dissolve, for that is how those years appear to me now, in a long sequence of sentimental dissolves and old-fashioned trick shots—the seagram building fountains dissolve into snowflakes, i enter a revolving door at twenty and come out a good deal older, and on a different street. how does joan didion's extended metaphor of comparing her time in new york to a movie affect the meaning of this excerpt? 1| it subtly suggests that didion's experiences in new york have been fictionalized, which calls the truthfulness of her account into question. 2| it highlights didion's belief that all people who live in new york feel as though they are the stars of an epic film about their

In the metaphor used by Joan Didion extended she refers to her time in New York as a movie, she always love that city, however, now she think that the city is just for young people and the city makes them feel as the starts in their own movie, but with past of the time it would become a “a film dissolve”, the answer is 2| It highlights Didion's belief that all people who live in New York feel as though they are the stars of an epic film about their.

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
