Answer:

Below

Explanation:

The two given expressions are:

● √(2p-7) = 3

● 7√(3q-1) = 2

We are told to evaluate p+q^2

To do that let's find the values of p and q^2

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Let's start with p.

● √(2p-7) = 3

Square both sides

● (2p-7) = 3^2

● 2p-7 = 9

Add 7 to both sides

● 2p-7+7 = 9+7

● 2p = 16

Divide both sides by 2

● 2p/2 = 16/2

● p = 8

So the value of p is 8

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Let's find the value of q^2

● 7√(3q-1) = 2

Square both sides

● 7^2 × (3q-1) = 2^2

● 49 × (3q-1) = 4

● 49 × 3q - 49 × 1 = 4

● 147q - 49 = 4

Add 49 to both sides

● 147q -49 +49 = 4+49

● 147q = 53

Divide both sides by 147

● 147q/147 = 53/147

● q = 53/ 147

Square both sides

● q^2 = 53^2 / 147^2

● q^2 = 2809/21609

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● p+q^2 = 8 +(2809/21609)

● p+q^2 = (2809 + 8×21609)/21609

● p+q^2 = 175681 / 21609

● p + q^2 = 8.129

Round it to the nearest unit

● p+ q^2 = 8
