You probably have done something like this and are confused by the directions. 
Step One 
Write down the equation and the givens.
P = 425
x is what you are trying to isolate.
P = 25x - (10x + 250)

Step Two
Remove the brackets on the right.
P = 25x - 10x - 250 Notice all those minus signs. The one on the outside of the brackets gets distributed just as thought there was a (say) - 5

Step Three
Collect the like terms on the right.
P = 15x - 250 

Step Four
This really doesn't require a separate step, but I should have done it at the beginning. Put in P = 425
425 = 15x - 250

Step 5
Add 250 to both sides.
425 + 250 = 15x
675 = 15x 

Step Six
divide by 15
675 / 15 = x
45 = x

He has to sell 45 calculators.

To solve this all you need to do is plug 425$ in for P.

425 = 25x - (10x + 250)

*Distribute the negative sign*

425 = 25x - 10x - 250

*Add 250 on each side*

675 = 25x - 10x

*Combine like terms*

675 = 15x

*Divide by 15*

x = 45

Draw two polygons that have corresponding angles that are all congruent but are not similar to prove that angle congruence is no
Marina86 [1]

There are infinitely many ways to do this. One such way is to draw a very thin stretched out rectangle (say one that is very tall) and a square. Example: the rectangle is 100 by 2, while the square is 4 by 4.

Both the rectangle and the square have the same corresponding angle measures. All angles are 90 degrees.

However, the figures are not similar. You cannot scale the rectangle to have it line up with the square. The proportions of the sides do not lead to the same ratio

100/4 = 25

2/4 = 0.5

so 100/4 = 2/4 is not a true equation. This numerically proves the figures are not similar.

side note: if you are working with triangles, then all you need are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles. If you have more than three sides for the polygon, then you'll need to confirm the sides are in proportion along with the angles being congruent as well.
