Plz hurry if you know. E-democracy represents the use of information and communication technologies, such as the Internet and smart phones, to enable more active citizen participation in government decisions.
Using information from the situation below, write a paragraph telling how websites, blogs, videos, webcams, and other Internet tools can help citizens share their points of view, “discuss” the options, and make the best decision for their town.
At the edge of town near Littleton, a large field is for sale. The town council is considering whether or not to buy the field and build a swimming and diving center for the town. However, a company in a nearby city wants the town council to pay part of the cost of buying the property for a factory. Unemployment has been growing in Littleton and the town could use the jobs. Finally, an environmental group wants the council to buy the field for nature paths and bike trails and as a safe habitat for the state bird.

answer: i looked it up

explanation: in 1955 in montgomery, alabama, a girl refused to give up her seat on a public bus. the girl was black, and the passenger looking to take her seat was white. this is a familiar tale, but it's not about rosa parks. the girl in the story is a 15-year-old high school student named claudette colvin, and this act of defiance occurred nine months before rosa parks did the same thing. colvin was arrested, and her case is what led to the u.s. supreme court's order for the desegregation of alabama's bus system. so, why don't we know colvin's name? "later i had a child born out of wedlock; i became pregnant when i was 16," colvin says. "and i didn't fit the image either, of, you know, someone they would want to show off.

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
