The correct answer is option B) Signing executive orders.

The president can quickly respond to economic, social, or political needs by Signing executive orders.

The United States constitution gives the President large amounts of power to use his or her own discretion to enforce authority and use the force of law in times of crisis.

Almost every President in the history of the United States has use this power to carry out executive orders and bypass congress.

President Franklin Roosevelt has used the highest amounts of executive orders in history with an unprecedented 3,522.

In comparison, Bill Clinton used 308 and President Obama used this power only 276 times.

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
