Revise the sentence below to correct the lack of parallel structure. Be sure that your revised sentence uses the active voice and is in the perfect tense.

The dog is being walked by Eli after Eli had finished his homework.

Eli is walking the dog after he had finished all his homework.

Explanation:

Eli had walked the dog after he had finished his homework.

Explanation:

Active voice is when the subject does the action (Eli had walked the dog instead of the dog had been walked by Eli) and perfect tense is when an action had happened and uses the verb to have.  Parallel structure is when all of the verbs use the same tense.  (Eli had walked the dog after he had finished his homework, not Eli is walking the dog after he had finished his homework.  it does not make sense because it is using two verb tenses.)

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
