This illustration represents one of the taxes england imposed on the colonies to pay for what event? a) king george's war b) the english civil war c) the revolutionary war d) the french and indian war

I just took the test and answer D is the answer.

Proof I Just Took The Test: The illustration is a skull with crossed bones underneath it and it says "This is the place to affix the stamp".

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
