Before the U. S. invaded Grenada, it asked the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States to make a formal request for America's intervention. In a 125-word paragraph, explain why Reagan asked for a formal request even though he had already decided to invade.

(b) britain had a much larger navy than the u.s.

(d) the u.s. had a small army compared to britain.

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
