Identify and explain a significant decision made by George Washington as president that continues to have consequences for the United States of America today. will mark brainliest need help quickly

One specific decision he made was to step down after two terms.  The two term step down was standard for all Presidents up until Roosevelt (Franklin).  When FDR died, a Constitutional Amendment was passed mandating that all future Presidents step down after two terms. This has a significant impact today, because it continues to ensure that dictatorships do not form in America (hopefully).

Explanation:

Good luck

there has only been 12 presidents. the 12th president is/was moon jae-in

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
