Proctor knows that abigail williams is a fraud. what conflicts cause him to hesitate about revealing this knowledge?

After analyzing the relationship between John Proctor and Abigail Williams in "The Crucible," we can say the following about his hesitation:

Proctor hesitates to reveal the truth about Abigail because they used to have an affair. He is afraid of being accused of adultery and having his wife taken away from him.

Abigail Williams accuses John Proctor of practicing witchcraft, which leads to his incarceration. Proctor knows the truth behind Abigail's actions, and he knows she has been lying about everything related to the witchcraft incident.

However, he does not come forward to expose her as a fraud. The reason for that is their past relationship. The two used to have an affair, which is also considered a grave offense. Afraid of being accused of adultery, Proctor remains silent. All he can do is insist on saying he is innocent.

the third answer

explanation:

because

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
