Read the passage. she danced with rapture, with passion, intoxicated by pleasure, forgetting all in the triumph of her beauty, in the glory of her success, in a sort of cloud of happiness made up of all this admiration, of all these awakened desires, and of the victory so complete and so sweet to a woman's heart. which best describes mathilde's traits, based on her actions? a. she is nervous and overwhelmed. b. she is embarrassed and self-conscious. c. she is outgoing and blissfully happy. d. she is kind and generous.

c.She is outgoing and blissfully happy.

Explanation:

In the excerpt it is very interesting how the author describes her as dancing with passion, and with happiness, and how it is all up of admiration and she is rejoicing on her victory and how she feels outgoing, and blissfully happy, because of her actions and she feels intoxicated with pleasure. So the best way to express what the excerpt is saying would be that she is outgoin and blisfully happy.

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

the correct answer is b. a comparison without the use of like or as. hope this
