Because the pilgrim’s were so off course from the boundaries of their agreed charter- they decided to come up with a pact to turn into “a civil body politic with the power to enact whatever laws necessary to preserve the group” (BEFORE getting off the boat) What did they call this compact?

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
