1. how were the roma experiences during the holocaust similar to or different from the jewish experiences? write at least two paragraphs comparing/contrasting the two groups’ experiences.

The Roma and the Jewish populations shared similar faith in the hands of the Nazis. Both of these groups were systematically killed, or put on to work in factories where they died because of the terrible conditions in which they were put in. Also, a similarity was that the Nazis viewed both of these groups of people as not worthy of living, as filth, pests on the planet.

The difference was that the Jewish people were a group targeted because of its good financial situation in general. The Nazis wanted to get to their wealth, so the Jews were portrayed as the people that are taking and keeping all the money in the economy, thus resulting in all the other people being poor.

The Roma were poor people, most of which still had nomadic lifestyle. They were targeted because they were not seen as suitable for the German society, people that do not contribute, but also because they were much different in appearance than the Germans.

the underground railroad (apocope of the metropolitan railroad) is a system of urban trains located within a city and its metropolitan area. it is characterized for being a massive transport of passengers in the big cities, uniting diverse zones and their environs, with high capacity and frequency and in segregated form to other systems of transport. metropolitan railroads are built underground or on the surface, although most systems use mixed models where sections are combined in both modalities.

1 - as a result, the metro tends to reduce car travel for two reasons: first, due to the greater transfer of users from the car and, second, due to the reduction in the acquisition of cars in homes located in sectors near the stations of the metro.

2 -the metro allows to contribute effectively to the achievement of all the objectives of an urban development policy: it improves the efficiency of the city's economy by reducing travel costs and also generates a higher level of activities in the city center, taking advantage of of the agglomeration economies.

3 -it is a clean means of transport, since it uses renewable energy (usually electricity), taking care of the environment and avoiding excessive pollution.

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40     distribute/multiply - into (2a + 7)

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

1 - 2a = a + 40       add 2a on both sides

1 = 3a + 40         subtract 40 on both sides

-39 = 3a       divide 3 on both sides

-13 = a

[proof]

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40

8 - (2(-13) + 7) = -13 + 40

8 - (-26 + 7) = 27

8 - (-19) = 27

8 + 19 = 27

27 = 27
