What was most significant about Maryland’s Act of Toleration? The law inspired the growth of religious freedom in the colonies. The law became a model for other North American colonies. The law granted religious freedom to all non-Christians in Maryland. The law led to a Catholic takeover of the colonial assembly in Maryland.

wait history, who want to talk about history, boring.

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

i believe that d is the right answer
