Two major theories have been suggested as the reason that the soviet union collapsed. one is that the u. s. (particularly ronald reagan) spent so much on defense that the soviet union went broke trying to keep up. the other explanation is that soviet communism “fell of its own weight”, because communism simply doesn’t work. which if these explanations do you find more convincing and why? also, feel free to advance another theory.

The economic bases of communism, its premises , were wrong. Its centralized command economy, predominant state property, state control of means of production, state-centerered allocation of resources, supression of market laws (supply and demand law) and denying private enterpreneurship and risk taking made it highly bureaucratic and made it impossible to create wealth in the long run. The increased defense expenditure of the Reagan administration put addtional pressure on the Soviet and allied economies, but it is only a factor that added to the burden and troubles of a failed system that ultimately, proved impossible to be reformed.

Explanation:

answer

explanation

the given equation is

we can rewrite this as:

let

then the equation becomes:

the factors of 8 that sum up to -9 are {-1,-8}

we split the middle term with these factors to obtain,

we factor by grouping to obtain:

apply the zero product property to get:

but

d

step-by-step explanation:

an inequality is an expression which means more than one number is a solution. we graph the solutions on a number line to show all possible values. we graph using circles and arrows.

this is a filled in circle on -2 so this is . this means only answers c and d are options.

answer d points to the right.
