Which of these was a characteristic of the Progressive movement?
constant pressure to reduce government regulation and control of business
efforts to increase the control held by the nation's elite, upper class
citizens
passage of Civil Rights legislation to end segregation and discrimination in
the south
work towards the removal of corrupt influences on local, state, and

i think the answer would happen to be the letter b

because the bar never runs out

couples always argue

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

athena gives perseus a mirror sp he won't directly look back at her.

i think it is true i hope this is
