Question

Please help please help​

Answer 1

Explanation:

hmmm, did you mean, when

x + 1/x = 5

then

x² + 1/x² = ?

otherwise, we would need some information, how p and x are related somehow.

so, when

x + 1/x = 5

then

(x + 1/x)² = 5² = 25

x² + 1/x² + 2×x×1/x = 25

x² + 1/x² + 2 = 25

x² + 1/x² = 25 - 2 = 23
