A historian makes an interpretation when he or she: O A. records a firsthand account of an event happening in the present
day.
B. publishes an essay that does not use evidence to support its
conclusions.
C. analyzes evidence to develop a better understanding of the past.
D. completely separates a piece of evidence from its historical
context.

a, c, & d are correct:

they wanted lands to settle the extra population.

they wanted new markets for english goods.

they wanted to avoid civil war.

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

honestly, i think jake paul is a little butt
