50 POINTS: PLEASE ONLY ANSWER IF YOU HAVE THE SOLUTION: Task 1: Comparing the Literary Works of Emily Dickinson and Robert Louis Stevenson Emily Dickinson and Robert Louis Stevenson are notable writers of the Gothic genre. Research and write about the aspects of the lives of these two writers that may have affected their writings. Note the Gothic conventions, themes, and elements in the Gothic works of Emily Dickinson, specifically her poems “Because I could not stop for Death” and “I heard a fly buzz—when I died.” Then, note the Gothic conventions, themes, and elements of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Draw comparisons between the Gothic elements in the works of each writer. Write two or three paragraphs about what these works have in common and how these differ as works of the Gothic genre.

the first writer uses more pizzazz

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
