HELP ASAP How did citizens of Athens serve their government? O by participating in the Assembly
O by recruiting soldiers for the army
O by running for election to the Assembly
O by collecting taxes from the lower classes

O by participating in the Assembly

Explanation:

In the Assembly, citizens voted to elect representatives. They were not allowed to collect taxes or recruit soldiers. Running for election to the Assembly was not a normal thing. The answer is A, or answer 1.

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
