Answer 1

Answer:

(D) $p^{2} -9p+18$

Step-by-step Explanation:

Assuming that the equation $x^{2} -2$ = p, we can convert the equation into this.

$p^{2} +18=9p$

We can convert $9x^{2} -18$ into 9p because $x^{2} -2$ × 9 = $9x^{2} -18$

Now we simplify this equation.

We can subtract 9p from both sides of the equation.

$p^{2} +18-9p = 0$

Re-ordering the equation gets us:

$p^{2} -9p+18$

So, (D) $p^{2} -9p+18$ is equivalent to the original expression of $(x^{2} -2)^{2} + 18 = 9x^{2} -18$
