The following question is based on your reading of a midsummer night’s dream by william shakespeare. who falls in love with helena first? a. demetrius c. puck b. lysander d. oberon select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

The character that falls in love with Helena first is A. Demetrius.

Explanation: At the beginning of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Demetrius, a nobleman, is engaged to Helena, the daughter of Nedar. In that way, Demetrius is the first one to fall in love with her; however, throughout the play, he stops loving her and ends up falling in love with Helena's friend, Hermia. When Oberon perceives that Demetrius has rejected Helena, he orders Puck to enchant Demetrius in order for him to love Helena again. However, Puck makes a mistake and enchants Lysander instead. Therefore, Demetrius is the first character that falls in love with Helena. Lysander is the second one.

Explanation:

As they sleep, Puck mistakes Lysander for Demetrius and sprinkles his eyes with the juice of the magical flower. When Lysander wakes up the first person he sees is Helena and so he falls instantly in love with her instead of Hermia.

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
