To find \( p \): \( 45 = \frac{p}{100} \times 90 \implies p = \frac{45 \times 100}{90} = 50 \). Calculate \( 50 \% \) of \( 45 \): \( \frac{50}{100} \times 45 = 22.5 \).

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 \( 20/8 = 5/2 \).

Dividing the equation by 4, completing the square, and simplifying gives n = 4.

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

With \(p(x) = 0.75x\), the function decreases linearly as \(x\) increases, representing a consistent reduction in value. Hence, the answer is 'Decreasing Linear.'

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 \( \frac{9}{5} \times 3.00 = 5.40 \).

Substitute \( s = 10 \) into the equation: \( 4p + 2(10) = 100 \Rightarrow 4p + 20 = 100 \Rightarrow 4p = 80 \Rightarrow p = 20 \).

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

To cover the walls twice, double the total area \(w\) to get \(2w\). Since each gallon covers 300 square feet, divide \(2w\) by 300 to get \(P = \frac{w}{150}\).

To find \( a \), set \( g(x) = 0 \) and solve: \( -2x + 10 = 0 Rightarrow x = 5 \), so \( a = 5 \). For the y-intercept \( b \), set \( x = 0 \): \( g(0) = 10 \). Therefore, \( a + b = 5 + 10 = 15 \).

Since triangles \( \triangle ABC \) and \( \triangle DEF \) are congruent, angle \( C \) corresponds to angle \( F \). Therefore, angle \( F \) must be 55°.

Since the decay factor is 0.82 per quarter, this gives a 18% decrease each quarter. Calculating this for a year results in approximately a 51% annual decay rate, so \(r = 51\).

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.

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.

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

Since \(\frac{r}{s} = 6\), we get \(r = 6s\). Substitute into \(\frac{48r}{ks} = 6\) to obtain \(\frac{48(6s)}{ks} = 6\). Simplify to \(\frac{288s}{ks} = 6\), cancel \(s\) and solve for \(k = 48\).

To find the surface area, find the side length first. The volume of the cube is \( V = s^3 \). Given \( V = 729 \), \( s = \sqrt[3]{729} = 9 \). The surface area formula is \( 6s^2 \). Therefore, the surface area is \( 6(9)^2 = 486 \) 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.

In the equation 5𝑏 + 40𝑐 = 2,450, the coefficient 5 corresponds to the sports field, meaning 𝑏 represents the number of benches per acre in the sports field.

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.

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

Find the sum of the roots for each factor separately, then combine them and compare it to the given total of 8 to find the value of \( p \).

Calculate percentages: Candidate X received \( \frac{350}{800} = 0.4375 \), or 43.75%. Candidate Y received \( \frac{450}{800} = 0.5625 \), or 56.25%. If 5,600 people vote, Candidate X would receive \( 0.4375 \times 5600 = 2450 \) votes, and Candidate Y \( 0.5625 \times 5600 = 3150 \) votes. The difference is \( 3150 - 2450 = 700 \) votes.

To find \( f(0) \), substitute \( 0 \) for \( x \): \( f(0) = 250(0.4)^0 \). Since \( (0.4)^0 = 1 \), the expression becomes \( 250 imes 1 = 250 \).

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

To find \( f(0) \), substitute \( 0 \) for \( x \): \( f(0) = 400(0.5)^0 \). Since \( (0.5)^0 = 1 \), the expression becomes \( 400 imes 1 = 400 \).

Since the side lengths of square P are 20 times the side lengths of square Q, the area of square P is \( 20^2 = 400 \) times the area of square Q. Therefore, \( k = 400 \).

To isolate \(3y + 8z\), multiply both sides by \((3y + 8z)\) to obtain \(h = x(3y + 8z)\), then divide by \(x\) to yield \(3y + 8z = \frac{h}{x}\).

The sum of the solutions is calculated separately for each factor. Using the given total sum of \( \frac{25}{2} \), solve for the value of \( p \).

Expanding the equation, we obtain \( 2x^2 - 3x + 15 = 15x - 5x^2 \). Rearranging terms, we get \( 7x^2 - 18x + 15 = 0 \). Using the quadratic formula, the sum of the solutions is given by \( -b/a \), where \( a = 7 \) and \( b = -18 \), which yields \( 18/7 \).

The rate of leakage is 7 milliliters per minute. Over one hour (60 minutes), the volume leaked is 7 * 60 = 420 milliliters. Converting to liters (1 liter = 1000 mL), the answer is 0.42 liters.

To find \( a \), set \( r(x) = 0 \): \( 8x - 16 = 0 Rightarrow x = 2 \). Thus, \( a = 2 \). For \( b \), evaluate \( r(0) = -16 \). Therefore, \( a + b = 2 - 16 = -14 \).

To find the doubling time, set \( h(t) = 2 \cdot h(0) \) and solve for \( t \): \( 45,000 \cdot (1.04)^{t/200} = 90,000 \). Use logarithms to solve for \( t \) and convert to hours.

The population doubles every 30 minutes, so it doubles twice per hour. After \( x \) hours, the population grows by a factor of \( 2^{2x} \).

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

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

Using elimination or substitution, we solve for \( y = 5 \).

Factor out the greatest common factor, \(3x\), from the expression: \(3x(x^2 + 9x + 18)\). Then factor \(x^2 + 9x + 18\) as \((x + 3)(x + 6)\). The smallest possible value of \(b\) is 3.

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 \( j(0.5) \): \( j(0.5) = 50 \cdot 5^{0.5} = 50 \cdot \sqrt{5} = 50 \sqrt{5} \).

The half-life is 3 years, so the remaining quantity after \( x \) minutes is \( Q = 5 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{x}{3 \cdot 365 \cdot 24 \cdot 60}} \).

The investment grows by 8% per month, so the monthly growth factor is 1.08. After \( x \) years, the equation is \( V = 10,000 \cdot 1.08^{12x} \).

For a quadratic in the form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), the minimum or maximum value of \( y \) occurs at \( x = \frac{-b}{2a} \). Here, \( a = 1 \) and \( b = -10 \), so \( x = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \).

Both sides simplify to \( 3y - 9 \), which are identical. Therefore, the equation is true for all values of y, leading to infinitely many solutions.

Let the number of voters who voted in favor of the bill be w. According to the problem, 3 times as many voters voted against, so the number against is 3w. The report states that 18,000 more people voted against, so the equation is 3w = w + 18,000. Solving for w gives 9,000, and the number against is 3(9,000) = 27,000.
