true or false

True

Explanation:

The initiative is a procedure in which ordinary citizens can propose legislation that can go to the ballot (to a popular vote). The procedure of initiatives varies from nation to nation, the United States, for example, guarantees direct and indirect initiatives.

A direct initiative enables ordinary citizens to propose a statute, collect enough valid signatures from people and send it to the ballot, and an indirect initiative enables ordinary citizens to propose a statute, so that he or she sends it to the legislature to be approved or rejected. If the measure is rejected, the measure do not go to the ballot. But if it is approved, the measure is submitted to a popular vote.

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
