Which of the following statements about cover letters is false? a. a cover letter gives an employer some insight into the applicant’s personality. b. a cover letter provides an employer with an sample of the applicant’s written communication skills. c. a cover letter is sent before a résumé so that the employer knows it is coming. d. a cover letter allows an applicant to go more in depth about their skills and abilities.

The correct answer is D.

A cover letter is usually sent together with the rèsumè to the employer. Its content, but also its layout and the quality of the writing, will inform the employer about the skills of the candidate.

On the other hand, it is not possible to analyze in depth those skills only by reading a letter. This is why, if the letter has caused a satisfactory impression, employers usually call candidates for an interview.

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
