Babylon is located on the red sea.
ture or false

The statement is false. Babylon is not located on the Red Sea.

Explanation:

Babylon was an ancient city of Lower Mesopotamia. It was the capital of the Babylonian Empire and the Neo-Babylonian Empire.

At the moment its ruins, partially reconstructed by Saddam Hussein at the end of the 20th century, are in the Iraqian province of Babil, adjacent to the city of Hilla, and 110 km to the south of Baghdad, in the geographic center of Iraq.

first option i assume

explanation:

simplify brackets

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

simplify 8 - 2a - 7 to -2a + 1

-2a + 1 = a + 40

add 2a to both sides

1 = a + 40 + 2a

simplify a + 40 + 2a to 3a + 40

1 = 3a + 40

subtract 40 from both sides

1 - 40 = 3a

simplify 1 - 40 o -39

-39 = 3a

divide both sides by 3

-39/3 = a

simplify 39/3 to 13

-13 = a

switch sides

a = -13
