What are your thoughts on providing free trannsportation to all retired seniors?
are you for it or against it?
do you think it should become law?

(i'm asking you bc i need to ask a 'trusted adult' for an opinion. all you ahve to do is just answer these questions and list addidtional ideas and topics.

Elderly people should not pay.Providing our senior citizens with free public transportation will encourage them to ‘make the most of it’ and will not be using their cars, which means fewer car accidents on our roads. Elderly people need the public transport, mainly because we need fewer of them driving on the roads to reduce the amount of crashes and accidents that have occurred previously.The elderly are very old and cannot do some of the things we do now. Most elderly people have retired and aren't making anymore money. They're just living on their savings. Usually, elderly like visiting their grandchildren or children or at least going somewhere, and they are the people with the most time on their hands so they would be using the bus a lot. Why should they have to pay money to get to the store that's only about a mile away? Adults and children could just walk there, but elderly have to pay $2 because they can't. That isn't right.

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
