1. Bleeding Kansas

2. John Brown's raid.

Explanation:

Towards the occurrence of the American civil war between 1861 to 1865. The are various important events that lead to it.

Two which are:

1. Bleeding Kansas: this occurred between 1854 to 1859. And it involves the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 which led to some abolitionist killing some pro-slavery settlers in the Pottawatomie Creek Massacre in Kansas and at the same time the sacking of Lawrence town, a town whose settlers favored antislavery

2. John Brown's raid: this occurred in 1859, in which abolitionists led by John Brown went about arming anti-slave personnel particularly the local slaves to revolts against their masters. This led to a series of killings of pro-slavery personnel in the south.

b. they tried to evict the squatters from the area.

so sorry if wrong

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
