Match the battle names to the locations where they were fought.

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

um hi i’m new here but i have an opinion i guess. i think we are but when i say war i don’t mean fighting i mean political rallies differing opinions and cultures and ideas and they all clash so hard. not all wars are fought on a battlefield. most are fought in our minds and minds of others. somethings gonna have to change and i honestly think a ‘war’ is the best way to do it. fight it out. stand up for what you believe. it’ll work out. freakin united states of america we’ve got this.
