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

the nets, boats and fishing poles are examples of determinants for catching fish. if a fisherman has a quality fishing net and fishing poles plus a high end fishing boat, then there is a big opportunity or possibility that he may catch more fish.

moreover, fish production is directly proportional to its determinants such as boat, net, fishing poles and bait. therefore, a good equipment is a determinant while fisherman’s effort is an input to his fishing skills and the output is the production made out of catching fish.
