What types of businesses/jobs/economy developed in the New England Region?

The soil was really bad for farming since it was so hard and didn't meet the nutritional needs for plants, so they decided to do agriculture, some example of these are fishing, lumber (wood from trees), textiles, and shipbuilding to name a few. The economy was at a normal level, some jobs were fishermen, dock workers, sailors, shipbuilders, merchants and artisans. Hope this helps and have a nice day!

Explanation:

t

explanation:

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
