    The answer to your question is below

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To answer this question just clear x from the divisor.

    3x + 5 = 0

    3x + 5 - 5 = 0 - 5

    3x = - 5

    3x/3 = - 5/3

    x = - 5/3 First question

    Now evaluate the function at x = - 5/3

    p (-5/3) = 3 (-5/3) ⁵ + 2 (-5/3) ² - 5

    p (-5/3) = 3 (-3125/243) + 2 (25/9) - 5

    p (-5/3) = 3 (-12.86) + 5.56 - 5

    p (-5/3) = - 38.58 + 5.56 - 5

    p (-5/3) = - 38.02 Second question
