Question 1:
(x*3)+18/8=9 is the equation
(x*3)+18=72 multiply by 8
(x*3)=54 Subtract 18
x=18 Divide by 3
The two digit number is 18
Question 2:
x*4=43 Divide by 4
x=10.75 10 3/4
10 3/4+3 3/4 Solve

Part 1)
(x²+15x+65)+(2x-5)*(3x+8)
(x²+15x+65)+(6x²+16x-15x-40)
(7x²+16x+25)
the answer Part 1) is the letter B
(7x²+16x+25)
Part 2)
(4x+1)*(3x-4)-(5x²-10x-12)
(4x+1)*(3x-4)-(5x²-10x-12)
(12x²-16x+3x-4)-(5x²-10x-12)
(7x²-3x+8)
the answer Part 2) is the letter D
(7x²-3x+8)
Part 3)
(8x²+19x+4)+(3x+2)*(x-5)
(8x²+19x+4)+(3x²-15x+2x-10)
(11x²+6x-6)
the answer part 3) is the letter A
(11x²+6x-6)
Part 4)
(6x+1)*(3x-7)-(7x²-34x-20)
(18x²-42x+3x-7)-(7x²-34x-20)
(11x²-5x+13)
the answer Part 4) is the letter C
(11x²-5x+13)
We are given:

There seems to be nothing I can do to simplify this equation. However, I can factor out an
since they both have at least an
. Here is what we get:

This is in the simplest form I can get into. I cannot do anything more to simplify this expression. This is your final answer.
To solve for p, square both sides and move the equation to one side is equal to zero. Then factor. I chose -2 and -5 because -2 x -5 = 10 and -2 + -5 = -7. After factoring, solve p-5=0 and p-2=0. When one of those equals zero then the equation (p-5)(p-2)=0 is true.
