Mike wants to buy a book that costs $8.00 but has only $4.00 in his budget what is his budget deficit

The budget deficit is the rest of the money he needs to buy the book.

If he has only  $4 he  needs $4 more He has a budget deficit of $4 ( or a budget deficit of 50%)

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
