Answer: Here's all the land pieces I know
Louisiana Purchase: Sold by Napoleon to the US in 1803
Flordia: The Adam-Onis Treaty seceded Florida the US
CA, NV, UT, AZ: Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican-American war and these territories are called the Mexican cession.
Texas: (kinda complicated) Texas won its own independence and became the Lone Star state. Because of slave issues they did not admit Texas for a number of years. The Mexcian-American war did secure a lot of these lands
Oregon Territory: This land was previously co-ruled by Britsh and the US. They wanted this to end so they divided the land in half at the 49th parallel. President Polk tried to push for more land but was rejected.
Gadsden Purchase: Last purchase of land until Alaska or Hawaii. Bought from the Mexican government to build an easier railroad route (avoid tunning through the Rocky Mountains). This is a small portion of land below New Mexico.
The answer to this question is true.
Part 1/
5 + x - 14 = x - 7
We’ll cancel (X) from both sides;
5 - 14 = -7
-9 = -7
Since, -9 = -7 is False, there is no solution.
———
Part2/
If we use x = -2, 0, 3
1) Case of X = -2
5 + (-2) - 14 = (-2) - 7
5 - 2 - 14 = -2 - 7
3 - 14 = -9
-11 = -9 .... False / No Solution
2) Case of X = 0
5 + (0) - 14 = (0) - 7
5 - 14 = -7
-9 = -7 ... False / No Solution
3) Case of X = 3
5 + (3) - 14 = (3) - 7
8 - 14 = -4
-6 = -4 ... False / No Solution
THE AMAZING THING ABOUT BOOKS is how they have lives of their own. Writers think they know their
business when they sit down to compose a new work, and I suppose they do, right up to the moment
when the last piece of punctuation gets planted on the final sentence. More often than not, that
punctuation is a period. It should be a question mark, though, because what occurs from then on is
anybody’s guess.
