Explanation:

The attack on the hated state prison of La Bastille, symbol of opression and injustice under the old regime, on July 14, 1789, marks the start of the French Revolution.  The angry mob´s immediate goal for storming the Bastille was to take control of its gunpowder and weapons.

i believe your answer is d)

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
