HELP ME THIS IS SO CONFUSING AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING PLZZ HELP! Simplify the expression. -7(n+3)-⅛ (8+8n)

SHOW YOUR WORK

-8n-22

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to distribute. -7(n+3) becomes -7n-21. That's the first half done. Now let's do -1/8(8+8n) -1/8 is equal to 0.125, so we'll use that to make it simpler. 0.125x8 is simply just 1, so now we have -7n-21-1-1n. We can get rid of that one and just say n instead of 1n, it still means the same thing. Now we can combine like terms by moving the numbers around. Make sure you keep the signs in front though! -7n-n-21-1 = -8n-21-1 = -8n-22.

First, distribute the numbers.

-7(n+3)

Multiply -7 by n and -7 by 3.

-7n-21

⅛(8+8n)

Multiply ⅛ by 8 and ⅛ by 8n.

1+1n

Now place these back into the original expression.

-7n-21 - 1+1n

Now subtract the constants by the constants and the variables by the variables.

-7n - 1n = -8n

-21 - 1 = -22

Now these back into the expression now.

-8n - 22

So the expression simplified is -8n - 22.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
