How did Paul Revere's engraving of the Boston Massacre increase support
for colonial independence?

How Paul Revere's Engraving of the Boston Massacre Rallied the Patriot Cause. Printed just weeks after British troops opened fire on an unarmed crowd of Bostonians, Revere's depiction of the melee likely stoked anti-British sentiment throughout the colonies.

Explanation:

c) troops march forward in close formation against newer, more accurate weapons

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
