Read the excerpt from "youth activism and animal "rights.” in addition to traditional events like bake sales and car washes, young activists have raised money through more creative means. many use special occasions, such as birthdays and bar or bat mitzvahs, to ask their friends and families to donate money to animal rights, rather than give gifts. why does the author most likely include these details? to illustrate that young activists pressure others to donate money to show that young activists are more generous than non-activists to emphasize the dedication and generosity of young activists to highlight that young activists are irresponsible with money

The correct answer to this question is "to emphasize the dedication and generosity of young activists."

The above excerpt gives an insight about the prejudice of the society against the young generation. Often people are of the view that the present generation is busy wasting time, money and human resource. This excerpt focuses on the positive attitude of the young activists who works for the welfare of the animals and even encourages others to do so. They bring awareness about the animal rights among friends and families through public meetings on birthdays, parties or any social gatherings.

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

in a way yes you create your own scheduele but you kind of dont too
