The question is incomplete, as Hernando and Rachel's solution are not provided. So, I will just solve the question directly.
Given

Required
Factor

Group into 2
![2mp-6p+27-9m = [2mp-6p]+[27-9m]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2mp-6p%2B27-9m%20%3D%20%5B2mp-6p%5D%2B%5B27-9m%5D)
Factor each group
![2mp-6p+27-9m = 2p[m-3]+9[3-m]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2mp-6p%2B27-9m%20%3D%202p%5Bm-3%5D%2B9%5B3-m%5D)
Rewrite 3 - m as -(m-3)
So, we have:
![2mp-6p+27-9m = 2p[m-3]-9[m-3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2mp-6p%2B27-9m%20%3D%202p%5Bm-3%5D-9%5Bm-3%5D)
Factor out m - 3
![2mp-6p+27-9m = [2p-9][m-3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2mp-6p%2B27-9m%20%3D%20%5B2p-9%5D%5Bm-3%5D)

I think this is describing
![(\sqrt[6]{x^5} )^7](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28%5Csqrt%5B6%5D%7Bx%5E5%7D%20%29%5E7)
First step is we convert the sixth root to a 1/6 power,

In general when we have a power raised to a power we get to multiply the exponents,

That's our answer.
First, determine the z-score of 675.
z = (675 - 500) / 100 = 1.75
The z-score of 500 is,
z = 0.
Subtracting the z-scores will give us 1.75. This is equal to 0.9599.
= 0.9599 - 0.5 = 0.4599
Multiplying this to the given number of light bulbs,
n = 0.4599 x 5000 = 2299.5
Therefore, there is approximately 2300 light bulbs expected to last between 500 to 675 hours.
