For the next 71 days, indian protesters at would hold off the american government at gunpoint. media from around the world would give day-by-day coverage. and native americans from across the nation would come to to be a part of what they hoped would be a new beginning.

Indian protestors at Wounded Knee held the government off for 71 days and Native Americans from around the country would come to the Pine Ridge reservation to stand in solidarity with the protestors.

your mothers brothers brother in law would be your father.

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
