How did abolitionists and african americans resist the fugitive slave avt?

They created the Underground Railroad, which was a trail from the South to the North, and if a slave was lucky, they could get all the way to Canada where they could not be captured again. Harriet Tubman was a major contributor for smuggling slaves to the North, even though every time she went back down to the South, she risked being re-captured herself.

Hope this helps!

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
