Note that it said find "a" formula for P(x).  We can infer from this as there are multiple possibilities.
In fact, there are many possible P(x) that fits the bill.
You got the most important part correct, namely
(x+5)(x-5)^2.
In general, P(x)=A(x+5)(x-5)^2 will work, but we need to satisfy also y-intercept of P(0)=-75.
If we expand the expression, we get 
P(x)=A*x^3A-5A*x^2-25A*x+125A
=>
P(0)=125A.
So setting A=-3/5 => P(0)=-75 as required.
or 
P(x)=-3/5(x+5)(x-5)^2
will satisfy all requirements.
It would be nice exercise for you to confirm that it is indeed the polynomial required.

What is the percentage
Norma-Jean [14]
Hi there! We are looking for the percentage of the fraction. In order to do this, first, let's divide. 41/50 is 0.82. Percents are parts of 100, so let's multiply that decimal by 100. 0.82 * 100 is 82. There. 41/50 is equivalent to 82%.

Solve the equation x + 0.7 = 1 - 0.2x in two different ways.Then check your answer.Show your work!
expeople1 [14]
Simplifying
x + 0.7 = 1 + -0.2x

Reorder the terms:
0.7 + x = 1 + -0.2x

Solving
0.7 + x = 1 + -0.2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.2x' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + x + 0.2x = 1 + -0.2x + 0.2x

Combine like terms: x + 0.2x = 1.2x
0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.2x + 0.2x

Combine like terms: -0.2x + 0.2x = 0.0
0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + 0.0
0.7 + 1.2x = 1

Add '-0.7' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + -0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.7

Combine like terms: 0.7 + -0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.7
1.2x = 1 + -0.7

Combine like terms: 1 + -0.7 = 0.3
1.2x = 0.3

Divide each side by '1.2'.
x = 0.25

Simplifying
x = 0.25
