Let the number of people who voted in favor of the policy be x. According to the problem, 5 times as many people voted against it, so the number against is 5x. The article states that 40,000 more people voted against it, so the equation is 5x = x + 40,000. Solving for x gives 10,000.

With the slope \( \frac{7}{8} \) and point \( (4, -1) \), apply the point-slope formula to find the equation \( y = \frac{7}{8}x - \frac{23}{8} \).

First, find the measure of angle B in radians: \( \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{3\pi}{8} = \frac{5\pi}{8} \). Then, convert to degrees by multiplying by \( \frac{180}{\pi} \): \( \frac{5\pi}{8} \cdot \frac{180}{\pi} = 112.5 \) degrees.

Convert the area to square miles by dividing by \(1760^2\): \(10,240,000 / 3,097,600 = 3.31\) square miles.

Since the triangles are similar, corresponding angles have the same trigonometric ratios. Thus, \( \sin(D) = \sin(A) = \frac{120}{125} \).

In the function k(x) = -8x + 64, the y-intercept (where x = 0) represents the initial amount of concrete the worker had before building any foundations. When x = 0, k(0) = 64, indicating that the worker started with 64 cubic feet of concrete.

With side lengths of square X being 50 times those of square Y, the area of square X is \( 50^2 = 2500 \) times the area of square Y. Thus, \( k = 2500 \).

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.

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.

Using the point-slope form \( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \) with the slope \( m = \frac{3}{5} \) and point \( (2, -4) \), the resulting equation is \( y = \frac{3}{5}x - \frac{22}{5} \).

The volume of a cube is \( V = s^3 \). Given \( V = 343 \), find \( s = \sqrt[3]{343} = 7 \). The surface area formula is \( 6s^2 \). Therefore, the surface area is \( 6(7)^2 = 294 \) square units.

Since both sides of the equation are identical, the equation is true for all values of x. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions.

Solving for \( y \) using substitution or elimination, we find that \( y = 30 \).

The percentage can be calculated using the formula: \( \frac{350}{700} \times 100 = 50\% \).

The two equations are not multiples of each other, but after simplifying, they end up being parallel lines. The slopes are the same but the y-intercepts are different, which means the lines never intersect.

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 \( \frac{9}{5} \times 4.50 = 8.10 \).

Congruent triangles have corresponding angles that are equal. Since \( L \) and \( O \) correspond, angle \( O \) must be 40°.

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 \( q(x) = 14(0.55)^x \).

In the equation 10𝑎 + 30𝑏 = 1,800, the coefficient 10 corresponds to the orchard, meaning 𝑎 represents the number of apple trees per acre in the orchard.

To find \( a \), set \( f(x) = 0 \) and solve for \( x \): \( 5x - 15 = 0 Rightarrow x = 3 \). The x-intercept is \( (3, 0) \), so \( a = 3 \). The y-intercept \( b \) is found by setting \( x = 0 \): \( f(0) = -15 \), so \( b = -15 \). Then \( a + b = 3 - 15 = -12 \).

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36 - 12}}{2} = 3 \pm \sqrt{6}\). So, the solution can be written as \(3 + \sqrt{6}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 6.

Using \( P = 40,000 \) and \( C = 5,000 \), set up the equation \( 40,000 = 5,000(2)^{5r} \). Dividing both sides by 5,000 gives \( 8 = (2)^{5r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides yields \( 3 = 5r \). Therefore, \( r = \frac{3}{5} \).

Factor out the greatest common factor, \(2x\), from the expression: \(2x(x^2 + 9x + 16)\). Then factor \(x^2 + 9x + 16\) as \((x + 4)(x + 9)\). The smallest possible value of \(b\) is 4.

Substitute \( y = 24 \) into the equation: \( 3.5x + 7(24) = 140 \Rightarrow 3.5x + 168 = 140 \Rightarrow 3.5x = -28 \). Since \( x \) cannot be negative, the shelter cannot care for any cats, making this question tricky.

To find the doubling time, solve \( j(t) = 2 \cdot j(0) \), leading to \( 100,000 \cdot (1.03)^{t/350} = 200,000 \). Taking logarithms of both sides allows solving for \( t \) and then converting to hours.

Since the decay factor is 0.70 annually, this translates to a 30% decrease per year, so \(q = 30\).

Since \( j(5) = 15625 \), substitute into \( j(x) = 50 \cdot k^x \): \( 50 \cdot k^5 = 15625 \Rightarrow k^5 = 312.5 \Rightarrow k = 5 \). Now find \( j(0.5) \): \( j(0.5) = 50 \cdot 5^{0.5} = 50 \cdot \sqrt{5} = 50 \sqrt{5} \).

Both data sets have their highest frequency around 24, which is the middle value. This symmetry implies that the mean of both data sets is approximately the same.

Since the triangles are congruent, angle \( Z \) is equal to angle \( C \), so the measure of angle \( C \) is 70°.

Substitute \( t = 30 \) into the equation: \( 6m + 2(30) = 180 \Rightarrow 6m + 60 = 180 \Rightarrow 6m = 120 \Rightarrow m = 20 \).

To isolate \(7m + 5n\), multiply both sides by \((7m + 5n)\) to get \(k = p(7m + 5n)\), then divide by \(p\) to find \(7m + 5n = \frac{k}{p}\).

For the system to have no solution, the slopes must be equal. Converting both equations to slope-intercept form reveals that k must equal -14.

Dividing the equation by 36, completing the square, and simplifying gives n = 12.

Testing each pair shows that only \( (4, 5) \) satisfies both equations.

Since the triangles are similar, corresponding angles have equal trigonometric ratios, so \( \sin(U) = \sin(R) = \frac{40}{41} \).

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 \( \frac{9}{5} \times 1.50 = 2.70 \).

Expanding the equation, we obtain \( 2x^2 + 3x - 9 = 4x^2 - 24x \). Rearranging terms, we get \( -2x^2 + 27x - 9 = 0 \). Using the quadratic formula, the sum of the solutions is given by \( -b/a \), where \( a = -2 \) and \( b = 27 \), which yields \( 27/2 \).

Factor out the greatest common factor, \(5x\), from the expression: \(5x(x^2 + 7x + 12)\). Then factor \(x^2 + 7x + 12\) as \((x + 3)(x + 4)\). The smallest possible value of \(b\) is 3.

Using the slope \( \frac{1}{3} \) and point \( (-3, 5) \) in the point-slope formula, the resulting equation is \( y = \frac{1}{3}x + 6 \).

The population triples every hour, so the growth factor per hour is 3. Since there are 24 hours in a day, the population after \( x \) days is \( p = 1,000 \cdot 3^{24x} \).

The lines have the same slope but different intercepts, indicating that they are parallel and do not intersect.

To have no real solution, the discriminant of \(x(p x - 90) + 49 = 0\) must be negative. Solving gives \(\)p^2 < 49[/latex], so the smallest integer for [latex]p[/latex] is 7.

The drainage rate is 10 liters per minute. Over 2 hours (120 minutes), the volume drained is 10 * 120 = 1200 liters. Converting to milliliters (1 liter = 1000 mL), the answer is 1,200,000 mL.
