Expanding the equation, we obtain \( 2x^2 - 8x + 12 = 12x - 6x^2 \). Rearranging terms, we get \( 8x^2 - 20x + 12 = 0 \). Using the quadratic formula, the sum of the solutions is given by \( -b/a \), where \( a = 8 \) and \( b = -20 \), which yields \( 20/8 = 5/2 \).

Both sides simplify to \( 8z + 4 \), making the equation true for all values of z. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions.

The congruence of triangles implies that angle \( R \) is equal to angle \( L \), so the measure of angle \( R \) is 30°.

Plug in the slope \( m = -2 \) and point \( (3, 7) \) into the point-slope formula to find the equation \( y = -2x + 13 \).

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 20}}{2} = 2 \pm \sqrt{9}\). So, the solution can be written as \(2 + \sqrt{9}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 9.

Since the function decreases by 45%, it retains 55% of its value at each step. Thus, the multiplier for the decay is 0.55. Therefore, the correct equation is \( q(x) = 14(0.55)^x \).

The change in degrees Fahrenheit is determined by multiplying the temperature increase in kelvins by \( \frac{9}{5} \), since the \( x \) term in the function is being multiplied by this factor. Therefore, the increase in Fahrenheit temperature is \( \frac{9}{5} \times 1.50 = 2.70 \).

To find the doubling time, set \( b(t) = 2 \cdot b(0) \) and solve for \( t \): \( 15,000 \cdot (1.06)^{t/100} = 30,000 \). Use logarithms to isolate \( t \) and convert to hours.

The decay factor is 0.90 per three months, equating to a 10% drop per quarter. After one year, this approximates to a 34% annual decay rate, so \(m = 34\).

Expanding the right side results in \( 10a - 3 \), which is identical to the left side. Therefore, the equation holds for all values of a, implying infinitely many solutions.

In the equation 6𝑣 + 12𝑓 = 216, the coefficient 6 corresponds to the vegetable patch, meaning 𝑣 represents the number of plants per square meter in the vegetable patch.

The values and frequencies are symmetric across the two data sets, which means the mean values are the same.

Substitute \( b = 8 \) into the equation: \( 2.5d + 3.5(8) = 70 \Rightarrow 2.5d + 28 = 70 \Rightarrow 2.5d = 42 \Rightarrow d = 16 \).

First, find the measure of angle Q in radians: \( \frac{5\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{14\pi}{12} = \frac{7\pi}{6} \). Then, convert to degrees by multiplying by \( \frac{180}{\pi} \): \( \frac{7\pi}{6} \cdot \frac{180}{\pi} = 210 \) degrees.

The vertex of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{9}(x - 7)^2 + 3 \) occurs at \( (7, 3) \). This represents the minimum height of the metal ball. The vertex form of a quadratic function, \( a(x - h)^2 + k \), indicates the vertex as \( (h, k) \). Since \( h = 7 \) and \( k = 3 \), the minimum height is 3 inches above the ground.

To find \( f(0) \), substitute \( 0 \) for \( x \): \( f(0) = 500(0.05)^0 \). Since \( (0.05)^0 = 1 \), the expression becomes \( 500 imes 1 = 500 \).

The two lines are parallel because their slopes are equal. Dividing the first equation by 2 yields \( 3.5x + y = 7.5 \). Since this differs from the second equation, the lines are parallel and do not intersect.

Factor out the greatest common factor, \(4x\), from the expression: \(4x(x^2 + 8x + 24)\). Then factor \(x^2 + 8x + 24\) as \((x + 4)(x + 6)\). The smallest possible value of \(b\) is 4.

Rewrite \(f(x)\) in vertex form as \(5(x - 2)^2 + 75\). The minimum of \(f(x)\) is at \(x = 2\), so \(g(x) = f(x + 3)\) shifts this to \(x = -1\).

Rewrite \(f(x)\) in vertex form by completing the square, yielding \(f(x) = 3(x + 4)^2 - 5\). The minimum of \(f(x)\) is at \(x = -4\), so \(g(x) = f(x - 4)\) shifts this to \(x = 0\).

Calculate percentages: Candidate L received \( \frac{600}{1000} = 0.6 \), or 60%. Candidate M received \( \frac{400}{1000} = 0.4 \), or 40%. If 7,500 people vote, Candidate L would receive \( 0.6 \times 7500 = 4500 \) votes, and Candidate M \( 0.4 \times 7500 = 3000 \) votes. The difference is \( 4500 - 3000 = 1500 \) votes.

The volume of a cube is given by \( V = s^3 \). Here, \( V = 64000 \), so \( s = \sqrt[3]{64000} = 40 \). The surface area is \( 6s^2 \). Therefore, the surface area is \( 6(40)^2 = 9600 \) square units.
