#2. No. (C):

-5p+10p = +5p, not +15p
-4 -2 = -6

#7. No. (C):
-2x(5) - 1(x) = -11x

#9. Yes!

#10. No. (D)
you want -10x, and +1(5x) + 5x(-2) = -10x

Yes, you answered the questions correctly. Here's an explanation of how to arrive at the correct answers for each question:

#2. To add the two polynomials, you need to combine like terms. Add the coefficients of the terms with the same power of p. In this case, you get:
(3p^2 - 5p - 4) + (9p^2 + 10p - 2) = (3p^2 + 9p^2) + (-5p + 10p) + (-4 - 2) = 12p^2 + 15p - 6.
Therefore, the correct answer is D.

#7. To multiply the two polynomials, you need to distribute each term in the first polynomial to every term in the second polynomial. After simplifying, you get:
(3x^2 - 2x - 1)(x^2 + x + 5) = 3x^4 + x^3 + 12x^2 - 2x^3 - 2x^2 - 10x + 5x^2 + 5x + 25 = 3x^4 + x^3 + 12x^2 - 10x - 5.
Therefore, the correct answer is B.

#9. To factor the given polynomial, you need to find two binomials such that their product is equal to the given polynomial. In this case, the polynomial is x^2 - 8x + x - 8. By grouping the terms, you can factor it as follows:
x^2 - 8x + x - 8 = (x^2 + x) + (-8x - 8) = x(x + 1) - 8(x + 1) = (x - 8)(x + 1).
Therefore, the correct answer is D.

#10. Similar to question #9, to factor the given polynomial, you need to find two binomials such that their product is equal to the given polynomial. In this case, the polynomial is 25x^2 - 5x - 2. By factoring by grouping, you can factor it as follows:
25x^2 - 5x - 2 = (25x^2 - 10x) + (5x - 2) = 5x(5x - 2) + 1(5x - 2) = (5x - 2)(5x + 1).
Therefore, the correct answer is B.
