Which best summarizes London’s description of huskies in his article “Husky-The Wolf Dog of the North”?

Huskies are dogs that have similarities to wolves. They are intelligent and resourceful animals with extraordinary strength. Even though they serve man, they can never be fully tamed.
Huskies are the most interesting of all the dog species. They are used by men to pull dog sleds. The men take care of them in the winter, but huskies have to take care of themselves in the summer.
I would not want to work with huskies because their wild nature seems scary. They are not very obedient. Also, they steal food and fight. I would not want to be bitten by a husky.
The husky species was born and bred of hard times. As a type of endurance, no better evolved product of natural selection need be sought. Huskies are well fit.

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

a, overstatement is the answer
