The tinker vs des moines supreme court case concerned two students who wore black armbands to school to protest the vietnam war. the school district suspended the students, possibly violating their right to free speech. which best summarizes the majority opinion? a. there is no precedent for schools to limit the rights of students, so it is unconstitutional to suspend the students for their armbands. b. the case went through process of judicial review to determine that fear of disruption alone was reason enough to suspend the students. c. the first amendment protects the students' rights to wear the armbands ; they weren't disruptive, and the school allowed other students to wear controversial symbols. d. the second amendment guarantees citizens the right to bear arms and form a militia, so they were allowed to express their feelings about the war. i think the answer is c, but what do you guys think?

yep. I did this in 7th grade and 99.9% thats the right answer

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
