In early August, 1945, United States military planes dropped atomic bombs on two of Japan’s largest and most populated cities, vaporizing everyone at the center of the blast and permanently disfiguring many thousands more. Today, now that the consequences of atomic warfare are widely known, historians debate whether the bombings were necessary or advisable. It's true that avoiding a land invasion saved millions of lives, yet some historians argue that Japan would have surrendered anyway once the USSR entered the war, and that the bombings were really intended to warn the larger Soviet army to stay within its borders.

What do you think? Was the United States justified in its use of atomic bombs at the end of World War II? Regardless of the rightness of the decision at the time, was it a good idea, in hindsight?

1- in bradbury's  fahrenheit 451, all books are banned and burned upon discovery. in the nazi germany, books considered to be subversive to the regime would be burned to keep the population from generating ideologies that could challenge nazism.

2- was bradbury correct in his literal interpretation of  “where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.”? in some way, yes. when knowledge is not only limited, but also controlled, the people tied to it are led to their demise. just like in the novel, people in nazi germany who owned  subversive books were punished not only by the burning of their property, but also by the discrimination that followed after such a public form of consequence. if a person was seen being confiscated  subversive  books, they may be considered as an ally to the jews, which meant pretty much the same as being the enemy back then. because of the extreme exclusion and suffering that followed this punishment, it's almost like dying a slow death.

in this way, the phrase  “where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.” is both literal and figurative.

mark brainliest and have a great day!

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
