How did objections to the League of Nations shape the U.S. Senate's decision Versailles ?
tester [92]

Objections to the League of Nations shape the U.S. Senate to reject the Treaty of Versailles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Treaty of Versailles considered as the peace treaty since it ended the WWI between Germany and the Allies. Also, it consisted of a provision and it is created by Woodrow Wilson - President of US at that time.

He wanted an international organization as League of nations the Allies. This treaty has to be signed by each country's representatives. But the senators of the US opposed this treaty since this agreement requires too much power within the League of Nations.

A senator Henry C Lodge argued with 14 reservations to match Wilson's 14 points in the treaty agreement that shows the control league will have over the Nation. Another senator William Borah also opposed the treaty. By Nov. 19, 1919, Borah gave a speech declaration of agreeing to the treaty by mentioning that "surrendered, once and for all."

Travis has decided to budget his spending money. He can spend no more than $155.60 every month. He has also decided to spend 2.5
Andreas93 [3]

Let the amount of money Travis spends on movies be $x.

Then the amount of money spent on video games will be 2.5 \times x=2.5x.

We were told that Travis can spend no more than $155.60.

The key word no more than means less than or  equal to.

This means that, when we add the total money spent on movies and video games  we should get something less or equal to $155.60.


Hence, the inequality that describes the problem is given by;

x+2.5x \le 155.6
