Read this excerpt from the introduction to wheels of change by sue macy. “to men, the bicycle in the beginning was merely a new toy, another machine added to the long list of devices they knew in their work and play. to women, it was a steed upon which they rode into a new world.” —"woman and the wheel," munsey’s magazine, may 1896 what is a logical prediction about the text that follows this introduction? it will highlight nineteenth-century toys and machines. it will compare horses and bicycles, as they are used for transportation. it will compare the speed of men and women on bicycles. it will highlight the historical significance of bicycles for women.

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
