Out of the following, the statement that best describes the South’s strategy when the Civil War  began is the one that says it was to defend the Confederacy until the North gave up.

Option D

Explanation:

The Southerners actually had a few pluses over the Northerners in the Civil War. Few of these were that they had a better military leadership than the Northerners had.

The land on the south was characterized by the presence of stretches of open fields for hundreds of miles. Owing to these pluses, the strategy of the Southerners was to defend their land and wait for the Northerners to give up.

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
