Me answer this question below. dear members, in an attempt to stop the poor graffiti on the large wall of our building, we are considering asking an established graffiti artist to paint the whole wall in a theme of our choice. we were thinking of a theme of friendship. what do you think the theme should be and why? is the project a good idea? would it attract more graffiti elsewhere? how could we pay for it? remember, this is your club and your views really matter. reply by email as soon as possible. club manager your task: is to respond to the email. expand on these points: - is the project a good idea? - what do you think the theme should be and why? - would it encourage more graffiti in the area? - how could this be paid for?

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
