Please please help this is really easy I just have slot on my plate of school work and this is one of the easiest assignments!! Find the main idea! and four supporting details from the story!

the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1 A D. 79 left the entire Italian city of Pompeii buried in volcanic mud for about 1,700 years. Archaeologists discovered the city only a few hundred years ago. Because the citizens of Pompeii were unprepared, thousands died and were buried under Main Idea about thirty feet of volcanic material. Archaeologists have slowly uncovered houses, public baths, and other structures, including several amphitheaters, large stadiums where residents gathered to see spectacles such as plays and gladiator fights. The relics of Pompeii give us a glimpse into what life was like more than 2,000 years ago during the first century

The main idea of this passage is that archeologists found loads of undiscovered houses and structures under loads of ashes from when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 1 A.D.

Explanation:

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

different strategies reach different people based on their ability to understand the material. (from personal experience) when writing an argumentative essay write explaining the subject as though your audience never heard of it before and it is just being introduced, then explain why other people hate it also, afterward you would explain why that would be wrong. i hope that : )
