Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

STRENGTHS

1) Budget is a major pointer to a government's commitment in a particular sector. Money allocated for education versus the %GDP will definitely show if education is a priority for the government or not.

WEAKNESSES

1) The major player, (the citizens) is not the determinant in this measure.

2) Without knowing the actual number or estimate of those who would be captured in this budget it may be impossible to know if education was really the priority of the government. Let's say (X) number of persons will benefit from the education budget, if X is unknown then planning would be on assumptions.

3) Budget alone is not sufficient in determining the commitment of the government in a sector. Laws, policies as well play a huge role and in this research laws,and policies are not part of the determining indices.

Find the points of intersection of the lines 10x−4y=2 and 2x+8y=7 without graphing.
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

x=\frac{1}{2},y=\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

10x-4y=2 ,2x+8y=7

To find: points of intersection of the given lines

Solution:

In substitution method, the system of equations is solved by expressing one variable in terms of another, as a result, removing one variable from an equation.

10x-4y=2 \\2(5x-2y)=2\\5x-2y=1\\5x=1+2y\\x=\frac{1+2y}{5}

Put x=\frac{1+2y}{5} in the equation 2x+8y=7

2x+8y=7\\2[\frac{1+2y}{5}]+8y=7\\ 2+4y+40y=35\\44y=35-2\\44y=33\\y=\frac{33}{44}\\ =\frac{3}{4}

Put y=\frac{3}{4} in the equation x=\frac{1+2y}{5}

x=\frac{1+2y}{5}\\=\frac{1}{5}[1+2(\frac{3}{4})]\\=\frac{1}{5}[1+(\frac{3}{2})]\\\\=\frac{1}{5}(\frac{2+3}{2}) \\\\=\frac{1}{5}(\frac{5}{2})\\\\=\frac{1}{2}

Therefore,

x=\frac{1}{2},y=\frac{3}{4}

The product of a number and 1.5 is less than the absolute value of the difference between 20 and 5. What are all the possible va
Goshia [24]

Answer:

  any value less than 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number.

  1.5x < |20 -5|

  1.5x < 15 . . . . simplify

  x < 10 . . . . . . divide by 1.5

The number may be any value less than 10.

Do the ratios <br> 15<br> 20<br> and <br> 3<br> 4<br> form a proportion?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Test the two ratios/fractions to see whether they are equivalent by multiplying diagonally (cross multiply). 3 4 = 15 20 4 * 15 = 60 and 3 * 20 = 60.

<em><u>This is a proportion. If the two numbers that are diagonal result in the same answer when they are multiplied, you are working with a proportion.</u></em>
