Answer:
-103
243
Step-by-step explanation:
(q•r)(5) = q(r(5))
r(5) = 2(5²) + 1 = 51
q(51) = -2(51) - 1 = -103
(r•q)(5) = r(q(5))
q(5) = -2(5) - 1 = -11
r(-11) = 2(-11)² + 1 = 243
and 
use the second expression to calculate the left-hand side of the first equation:

Add 10 to both sides if this equation to get

and divide both sides by 2

this proves that x = 17, give the two initial equations
Answer:
1 11/20
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helps! :)
First, distribute 8
8s+24=72
Now, isolate the variable with inverse operations
subtract 24 from both sides
8s=48
Divide by 8 on both sides
s=6
