    For question 1
    Here is the concept.
    if equation  ax^2 + bx +c = 0 is satisfied by more than 2 values of x then a = b = c =0.
    Reduce your equation in standard quadratic form and then equate all coefficients to zero and solve for p, q, r

    2) length is x + 10

    perimeter 2 ( x + x + 10) = 4x + 20
    perimeter is greate than 64.
    so 4x + 20 >64
    x > 22

    3) remaining questions ar not clear.
    but still let me tell you that (x-13)(x+23) < 0 is true for -23 < x < 13
