America passes the neutrality acts of and which put restrictions on americans during war. this was because there were rumors that greedy business people were responsible for getting the us involved in wwi for the benefit of their businesses to make war weapons and materials for profit

The correct answer is: "America passes the Neutrality Acts of 1935, 1936, 1937, and 1939 which put restrictions on Americans during war".

The Neutrality Acts were enacted in the 1930s decade to limit the participation of the US in future wars, after its participation on WWI, which had brought an intense feeling of disillusionment.

Such acts banned trade and financial operations with belligerents, as it was believed that economic operations with the allied powers had pushed the US into WWI, and the US government aimed to prevent the same mistakes again.

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
