[passage]
Although most residents agree that running events continue to be popular and would be an enjoyable addition to our spring calendar, ,begin underline, some may fear that a half marathon would be an inconvenience because of traffic, end underline,. However, a careful mapping of the 13.1-mile course would avoid problems. The proposed route could be posted on the town's website well ahead of time, and residents would have a week or two to note any difficulties they see. Such feedback would allow a committee adequate time to reroute the race if necessary. The result? Everyone—runners, residents, and drivers—will be satisfied. Most importantly, by working together to become the most runner-friendly city in our region, we better exemplify our town's motto: "A happy, healthy place to live."

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

its specific purpose is to sell a product to people .
