The Battle of Chickamauga became the largest Union defeat, but the Union thought it was important because it was an important step
towards…

a - capturing atlanta and controlling the confederate railroads

b- capturing valdosta and moving towards florida

c- capturing augusta and defending south carolina

d- capturing savannah and controlling the barrier islands

to it’s stable government, it has been able to accept refugees from somalia and south sudan. (apex)

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
