First, practice your speech on your own. Consider practicing your speech for friends or family members. After that you must present the speech to your teachers or class. Keep the following instructions in mind when preparing for the speech: Be aware of the time limit of the presentation.
Know and understand the material that is being delivered.
Plan the delivery of every point in the speech.
Create notecards to help you remember the important information.
Also, consider the following practices when delivering a speech:

Speak naturally, clearly, and loudly enough that everyone can hear you.
Make eye contact with various people in the audience.
Use hand gestures when you need to emphasize a point.
Vary your tone and volume for emphasis.
Stand straight but comfortably.
Dress in a neat and presentable manner.
Before delivering your speech to your chosen audience, practice delivering the speech in front of a mirror or a smaller audience such as close friends or family members. Then, you will deliver the speech to your chosen audience. You can also use an audio recording tool, to record your speech and submit an audio version of your speech to your teacher, if your teacher agrees. However, this is not mandatory.

speech making is not necessarily a tedious process.

Explanation:

Practising helps to strengthen your vocabulary, anf to identify mistakes that may have been made.

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
