Answer:
The Marshall plan helped prevent the turn to communism of Western Europe, which was a possiblity, especially in Italy and France, where communist parties where very strong.
The logic of the Marshall plan was to help rebuild and develop Western Europe, to show them the benefits of capitalism and a market economy, and prevent like that, the spread of communism from Eastern Europe.
This goal was achieved because no Western European country turned to communism since the end fo the World War, even when socialist and communist parties got to power.
The goal of the Berlin airlift was to prevent a shortage of goods in West Berlin after the Soviet Union blocked supplies to the city.
The Soviet Union wanted to force the US to abandon the city by blocking Berlin, since the Soviet Union dominated all areas sorrounding Berlin. However, the US was able to keep control of West Berlin by supplying the city through air.
Maintaining control of West Berlin was very important for the US for both strategic and symbolic reasons, and the success of the Berlin airlift was a crucial part of the strategy.
So basically, this is an <u>equation</u>.
15x + 25 = 100
First, lets do the <u>inverse operations tactic</u>.
Subtract 25 from both sides, causing the 25 and -25 to cancel each other out. 100 becomes 75.
15x = 75.
Divide both sides by 15.
15/15 = 1, so <u>it really just leaves the x by itself because the 1 has no value here</u>.
75/15 = 5.
So, x = 5.
I would say money, in most tv shows and movies it seems as if money was so easy to get and saving it was easy and still as a kid I know this, money is not easy to keep or get. To get the money you have to work for it by a job, or by walking a dog (which is not easy when your skinny and no muscle to hold an excited dog on a leash) but, then you have to learn to save and also to learn to know whats more important things you want vs. necessities. In movies, it's like they get money out of the clear blue sky? It hard to get money or things you want without working hard for it, tv shows and movies make it seems easy for sure.
