Please help! We went with Mr. Shimerda back to the dugout, where
grandmother was waiting for me. Before I got into the
wagon, he took a book out of his pocket, opened it, and
showed me a page with two alphabets, one English
and the other Bohemian. He placed this book in my
grandmother's hands, looked at her entreatingly, and
said, with an eamestness which I shall never forget,
Te-e-ach, te-e-ach my Antonia!"
Which theme is best supported by the descriptive
details in this passage from My Antonia?
Many immigrants have limited education.
Education is important to Mr. Shimerda.
Education is part of the dream of immigrants.
Antonia is not a good student.

Explanation:

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
