Read this excerpt from white fang. further, [white fang] was more directly connected with the wild than [the other dogs]; and he knew more of its secrets and stratagems. a favourite trick of his was to lose his trail in running water and then lie quietly in a near-by thicket while their baffled cries arose around him. which best describes the force that motivates white fang to run for the woods when chased? 1. an external force based on friendship 2. an external force based on setting 3. an internal force based on instinct 4. an internal force based on feelings

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

love, how my life is right now. you can be loved and can love others. sometimes you dont feel loved right now, dont worry, someone out there is loving you while you are away.
