100.

Explanation:

#p + q = 12#

#rArr (p+q)^2 = 144# [Squaring both sides]
#rArr p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 144# [Expanding #(p + q)^2#]
#rArr p^2 + q^2 + 2 * 22 = 144# [As #pq = 22#]
#rArr p^2 + q^2 = 144 - 44#
#rArr p^2 + q^2 = 100#

Hence explained.

The answer is #=100#

Explanation:

Reminder :

#(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab#

Therefore,

#(p+q)^2=p^2+q^2+2pq#

#p^2+q^2=(p+q)^2-2pq#

#(p+q)=12#

#pq=22#

So,

#p^2+q^2=12^2-2*22=144-44=100#

#p^2+q^2=100#

Explanation:

#(p+q)^2=p^2+2pq+q^2#

#rArrp^2+q^2=(p+q)^2-2pq#

#color(white)(xxxxxxxx)=12^2-(2xx22)#

#color(white)(xxxxxxxx)=144-44=100#

#p^2 + q^2 = 100#

Explanation:

The following are give

  1. #p+q=12#
  2. #pq=22#

In 1. square both sides
this gives us
#(p+q)^2# #=12^2#
#p^2 + q^2 + 2pq= 144# #color(white)(xxxxxx)##-"equation"3#

In 2. multiply both sides by 2 , this gives #2pq=44#

subtract this result from equation 3 .
this gives us
#p^2 + q^2 + 2pq - ##color(green)(2pq)##= 144- color(green)(44)#
#p^2 + q^2 = 100#
