How did enslaved African Americans cope with the conditions of their enslavement?

Explanation:

As the institution of American slavery grew increasingly forceful, the enslaved resisted its grip by appealing to the law, by escaping, and even by committing extreme acts like murder.

On the plantations, slaves lived in small cottages with thatched roofs. The cottages often had earthen floors and were furnished with only a bed, table and bench.

i think it would be c.

hope i'm correct

explanation:

1.3x - 2 - (3.3x + 5) = 2x + 1

1.3x - 2 - 3.3x - 5 = 2x + 1

-2x - 7 = 2x + 1

-7 = 4x + 1

-8 = 4x

x = -2
