My dearest brother,

I have heard the news about you getting involved in a fight with some of your classmates and their friends. I wouldn't say I am disappointed in you but I’m sure you would agree when I say I am angry and saddened to hear about that.

I hope you only learn a lesson from the incident and try to make sure that you don't get involved in such issues again. Fighting is not and never is the solution for any problem, whatever it may be. Instead, be patient and try to resolve the issue without resorting to violence. Moreover, you can also be tolerant, as much as you can't do that. being patient and tolerant will give you a better perspective of things and will also allow you to resolve things on a better and peaceful note. And you need to do that.

So, please learn to be tolerant and patient. This is my advice to you. Listen to the other side, try to find answers without the need to resort to a physical altercation.

I hope I don't receive any such news again in the future. Take good care and stay positive.

With lots of love,

Your loving sister.

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
