Choose any one of the memoirs from unit 1. summarize the event or experience detailed by the author in the memoir. explain why the memoir was written; what life lesson was learned by the author? include text evidence (actual quotes from the memoir) to support your answer.

in the story “A Cub Pilot” by Mark Twain, Mr. Bixby, the narrator’s chief, plays a key part in his life by teaching him a life lesson.

That life lessons that Mr. Bixby teaches the narrator is not second guess himself.

As a cub pilot, the narrator is training to become a steamboat pilot and must exercise “good and quick judgment” and “calm courage” (28).

Mr. Bixby challenges the narrator’s judgment by making him second guess himself. This is significant 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
