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 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.

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

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.

Calculate the slope with the given points and determine the equation of the line. Substitute \(x = p - 6\) to find \(b = -41\).

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 \(k = 48\).

The vertex form of a quadratic function, \( a(x - h)^2 + k \), indicates the vertex as \( (h, k) \). Since \( h = 6 \) and \( k = 5 \), the minimum height is 5 feet above the ground.

First, find the measure of angle Y in radians: \( \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\pi}{2} \). Then, convert to degrees by multiplying by \( \frac{180}{\pi} \): \( \frac{\pi}{2} \cdot \frac{180}{\pi} = 90 \) degrees.

Calculate the percentages: Candidate A received \( \frac{600}{1000} = 0.6 \), or 60%. Candidate B received \( \frac{400}{1000} = 0.4 \), or 40%. If 10,000 people vote, Candidate A is expected to receive \( 0.6 \times 10000 = 6000 \) votes, and Candidate B \( 0.4 \times 10000 = 4000 \) votes. The difference is \( 6000 - 4000 = 2000 \) votes.

Rewrite \(f(x)\) as \((x - 5)^2\). The minimum of \(f(x)\) is at \(x = 5\), so \(g(x) = f(x - 2)\) shifts this minimum to \(x = 7\).

Since the function decreases by 60%, it retains 40% of its value at each step. Thus, the multiplier for the decay is 0.40. Therefore, the correct equation is \( p(x) = 50(0.40)^x \).

The vertex of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{6}(x - 10)^2 + 4 \) occurs at \( (10, 4) \). This represents the minimum height of the basketball. The vertex form of a quadratic function, \( a(x - h)^2 + k \), indicates the vertex as \( (h, k) \). Since \( h = 10 \) and \( k = 4 \), the minimum height is 4 feet above the court.

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{10 \pm \sqrt{100 - 8}}{2} = 5 \pm \sqrt{23}\). So, the solution can be written as \(5 + \sqrt{23}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 23.

To ensure no solution, we set the slopes equal, indicating b = 48 based on intercept calculations.

Set up the equation \( 24,000 = 1,500(2)^{12r} \). Divide both sides by 1,500 to obtain \( 16 = (2)^{12r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides yields \( 4 = 12r \). Therefore, \( r = \frac{1}{3} \).

Rewriting the equation: \( x^2 + x - 56 = 4x^2 - 28x \). Rearranging terms, we get \( -3x^2 + 29x - 56 = 0 \). Solving using the quadratic formula, the sum of the solutions is given by \( -b/a \), where \( a = -3 \) and \( b = 29 \), which yields \( 29/3 \).

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{64 - 28}}{2} = 4 \pm \sqrt{9}\). So, the solution can be written as \(4 + \sqrt{9}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 9.

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 \( \frac{9}{5} \times 2.10 = 3.78 \).

The function increases by 20%, which means it becomes 1.20 times its previous value at each step. The multiplier is 1.20. Therefore, the correct equation is \( g(x) = 30(1.20)^x \).

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, \( a + b = 5 + 10 = 15 \).

Expanding the left side gives \( 5x + 15 \), which matches the right side. Therefore, the equation is true for all values of x, leading to infinitely many solutions.

Since \( m(3) = 4096 \), substitute into \( m(x) = 16 \cdot q^x \): \( 16 \cdot q^3 = 4096 \Rightarrow q^3 = 256 \Rightarrow q = 4 \). Now find \( m(\frac{1}{4}) \): \( m(\frac{1}{4}) = 16 \cdot 4^{\frac{1}{4}} = 16 \cdot \sqrt[4]{4} = 16 \cdot \sqrt{2} = 16 \sqrt{2} \).

To isolate \(2p + 9q\), multiply both sides by \((2p + 9q)\), resulting in \(g = w(2p + 9q)\). Dividing by \(w\) gives \(2p + 9q = \frac{g}{w}\).

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 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 \( y = \frac{3}{5}x - \frac{22}{5} \).
