The correct answer is "Juliet is willing to trust Friar Laurence to reunite her with Romeo."

In act IV, Juliet confesses Friar Lawrence that she would kill herself before marrying Paris, showing him a knife. After Friar Lawrence is convinced about Juliets determination to be with Romeo, he offers her a sleeping potion that will make her look as she were dead. Under this estate, she would be transferred to the Capulet tomb, where Romeo, after receiving the message, will retrieve her and they could both escape and live happily. She immediately accepts this offer.

i it is b. but if its not sorry

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
