Do you feel like you can relate to Vladimir Lenin in one way or another? Explain.

Lenin encouraged the poor and oppressed to take revenge on the rich and privileged. Lenin also kept his promise to withdraw Russia from the first world war by sending Trotsky to Poland to negotiate a peace treaty with the Germans.

35 is your answer because i looked it up

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
