Read the excerpt from the speech "An Indian's View of Indian Affairs," I believe much trouble and blood would be saved if we opened our hearts more. I will tell you in my way how
the Indian sees things. The white man has more words to tell you how they look to him, but it does not require
many words to speak the truth.
How do the underlined words impact the tone of Chief Joseph's speech?
They emphasize the fact that Chief Joseph is going to speak candidly from the heart,
They emphasize the fact that Chief Joseph is going to select his words very carefully
They emphasize the fact that Chief Joseph is going to create a mood of great sorrow,
They emphasize the fact that Chief Joseph is going to choose words that elicit guilt.

from: "the tragedy of julius caesar by william shakespeare: act 1 "

the correct answer is:

act 1 opens with the forum in celebration and ends with it in chaos.

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
