Explanation:

The Four Noble Truths are a fundamental doctrine to deal with suffering, whether it is physical suffering or emotional suffering, inside the Buddhism religion. This doctrine states that suffering exists, that it has a cause, and an end.

The First Noble Truth refers to realizing the presence of suffering, the Second Noble Truth refers to analyzing the cause of this suffering (desire or ignorance), the Third Noble Truth is the end of suffering (Nirvana), and the Fourth Noble Truth is the path to end that suffering.

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
