So x equals 30 because u did 180-150 and y is also 30 since you found x you then add 90 plus 30 and it will give u 120 then 180 minus 120 will be 60 then 90 - 60 because u are trying to find y, and u will get 30.
Let x = # of Republicans
x + 4 = # of Democrats
x + x + 4 = 100
x = 48
48 + 4 = 52
There are 52 Democrats and 48 Republicans.
There is a lot to go over here. Unfortunately it looks like you got a lot incorrect. I'll focus on two problems. Hopefully these examples below will help correct the other mistakes.

Problem 7)
We have the starting value be 20 and the ending value be 11. Subtract the values: (end)-(start) = 11 - 20 = -9. The negative indicates we have a drop or decrease.
We'll focus on the positive version of this number, so 9. Divide this value over the starting amount 20 to get 9/20 = 0.45 = 45%
So going from 20 miles to 11 miles is a decrease of 45%
Answer to problem 7 is: 45%
---------------------------------------------------------
Problem 13)
An increase of 300% means we added 3 times the original amount onto the original amount.
We take 300% of 25 to get 3*25 = 75
Which is then added onto 25 to get 25+75 = 100
Answer to problem 13 is: 100
Answer:
11 years 7 months 7 days(if 31 days a months) and change 7 days to 9 days if assuming 30 days a moths
The solution to the problem is 8x^2-6x-35
