Read the passage from chapter 1 of animal farm. unfortunately, the uproar awoke mr. jones, who sprang out of bed, making sure that there was a fox in the yard. he seized the gun which always stood in a corner of his bedroom, and let fly a charge of number 6 shot into the darkness. the pellets buried themselves in the wall of the barn and the meeting broke up hurriedly. everyone fled to his own sleeping-place. the birds jumped onto their perches, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment. which detail from the passage best supports the idea that mr. jones is a reckless farmer? “the uproar awoke mr. jones, who sprang out of bed” “everyone fled to his own sleeping-place.” “making sure that there was a fox in the yard” “let fly a charge of number 6 shot into the darkness”

The detail from the passage that best supports the idea that Mr. Jones is a reckless farmer is the fact that he "let fly a charge of Number 6 shot into the darkness," because it represents his authority over all the members of the farm. Far from measuring the consequencess, his first act after springing out of bed was to prove his power by shooting into the darkness.

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
