The correct answer is B) The Continental navy was smaller than Britain’s navy.

Colonial naval victories inspired colonists during the American Revolution in that "The Continental navy was smaller than Britain’s navy."

Great Britain had a powerful army. The problem with this was that they often had wars in Europe. So Britain invested a lot of money on wars. However, the world knew that Britain had a great navy. So when the Continental navy had some victories over the British, it was a great motivation factor because they had defeated a renown worldwide navy.

c, because the american revolution was from 1765 to 1783.

simplify brackets

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

simplify 8 - 2a - 7 to -2a + 1

-2a + 1 = a + 40

add 2a to both sides

1 = a + 40 + 2a

simplify a + 40 + 2a to 3a + 40

1 = 3a + 40

subtract 40 from both sides

1 - 40 = 3a

simplify 1 - 40 o -39

-39 = 3a

divide both sides by 3

-39/3 = a

simplify 39/3 to 13

-13 = a

switch sides

a = -13
