In Chapter 20, "Silver's Embassy", Captain Smollett is offered two deals. The first is that they stop fighting, hand over the map, and Silver promises that once the treasure is on board the ship, he will drop Captain Smollett's men off somewhere safe. The second is that they stop fighting, hand over the map, and let Silver leave without them. Silver promises he will send a ship to pick him up. Of course, Smollett could choose not to take either deal and keep fighting. Would you take one of the deals if you were Smollett or would you keep fighting? Why would you make that choice? If you took a deal, how would you make sure Silver would keep up his end? In a five paragraph essay, explain your choice and be sure to use support from the text.

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

what are the statements xd
