Which is the best description of the first settlers in jamestown? a. families who hoped to settle on small farms b. fishermen and fur trappers ready to work c. men and boys who hoped to find gold d. gentlemen with skills in farming and hunting

few years late but it's men and boys who hoped to find gold :) hope this helps people in the future!

four sitting presidents have been assassinated while in office but the first was abraham lincoln,

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
