Answer:

4pq(p³+q³)

Step-by-step explanation:

Exactly 5 game would be when 4 wins and 1 loss of a particular person

loss has to be one of the first 4 games

A wins: qp⁴ + pqp³ + p²qp² + p³qp

= qp⁴ + qp⁴ + qp⁴ + qp⁴ = 4qp⁴

B wins: pq⁴ + qpq³ + q²pq² + q³pq

= pq⁴ + pq⁴ + pq⁴ + pq⁴ = 4pq⁴

A wins or B wins:

4pq⁴ + 4qp⁴ = 4pq(q³+p³)

How to find variables of these #2 & #3
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
So... hmmm if you check the first picture below, for 2)

we could use the proportions of those small, medium and large similar triangles  like  \bf \cfrac{small}{large}\qquad \cfrac{x}{12}=\cfrac{6}{x}\impliedby \textit{solve for "x"}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{small}{large}\qquad \cfrac{z}{18}=\cfrac{6}{z}\impliedby \textit{solve for "z"}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{large}{medium}\qquad \cfrac{y}{12}=\cfrac{18}{y}\impliedby \textit{solve for "y"}

now.. for 3) will be the second picture below


\bf \cfrac{large}{medium}\qquad \cfrac{x+10}{2\sqrt{30}}=\cfrac{2\sqrt{30}}{10}\impliedby \textit{solve for "x"}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, because you already know what "x" is, we can use it below}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{large}{small}\qquad \cfrac{z}{x}=\cfrac{x+10}{z}\impliedby \textit{solve for "z"}
\\\\\\
\textit{and let us use "x" again below}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{small}{medium}\qquad \cfrac{y}{10}=\cfrac{x}{y}\impliedby \textit{solve for "y"}
