Hey Andy! Answers to the camp problems are available on the camp page. Let us know if after checking your answers you still have some questions on these problems.

Let's have some hint on these problems.

Q10: Since both absolute values equal each other, there are two possibilities: $x^2-11x+10=2x^2+x-45$, or $x^2-11x+10=-(2x^2+x-45)$.  Both are quadratic equations and you should know how to solve them.

Q11: No squares are negative, and no absolute values are negative.  This equation means a non-negative number equals a non-positive number.  Therefore, both sides have to be $0$.  From there you can figure out the values of $m$ and $n$.

Q12: Remove the absolute values, one layer at a time.  The first step: two cases: either $11-|11-|11-2x||=2$ or $11-|11-|11-2x||=-2$.  In each case, simplify and get the next layer.

Q13: First make a change of variable: $y=x^2+x+1$.
