The influence of john locke's philosophy can be seen most clearly in which of the following quotations?

Just took the test, answer b. Thomas Jefferson's phrase "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is correct. This person deserves brainliest for doing research on a question because SOMEBODY didn't add the options.  

"This Person" is referring to Metchelle.

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
