Hmmmm?

Answer 17

numbers too big for me to be interested in working out
i just cheated
one number is 17, the other is \(23\times 17+5=396\)

Answer 20

I don't understand how I got 34! Lol

Answer 21

the check is \(17\times 396=6732\) as needed

maybe you divided incorrectly
denominator of quadratic formula is \(2a\) i bet you divided by 23 not 46
