PLEASE HURRY TEST IS TIMED

Read the passage.

All students should complete some type of post-secondary education after high school graduation. Setting this goal and reaching it prepares students for patterns of lifelong goal-setting and teaches them some very important life lessons. People who don’t set personal goals are like rafts being adrift at sea. They never know where they are or where they are going. Goal-setting teaches students that having a set destination gives their lives purpose and structure. Goals motivate them to turn their thoughts, dreams, and ideas into reality. They learn new things and how to accomplish their goals. Students who stay true to their goals also learn that some things are worth waiting for. The key? Keeping the personal ship on course.

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
