Explanation:

mussolini criticized italy's government at the treaty of versailles. he thought that the government was weak and since other italians like him were unhappy with the government, mussolini was able to rise to power.

like mussolini, hitler also criticized germany's government (the weimar republic) after the end of world war i. hitler hated how, after the signing of the treaty of versailles, that germany took all the blame for world war i, and other germansfelt the same. they wanted new leadership and hitler came in power.

1.3x - 2 - (3.3x + 5) = 2x + 1

1.3x - 2 - 3.3x - 5 = 2x + 1

-2x - 7 = 2x + 1

-7 = 4x + 1

-8 = 4x

x = -2

your answer would be (a)
