Here are the answers to your questions:

  1. To find the two-digit number:
  1. Define the number using variables.

    Let the two-digit number be $10t + u$, where $t$ is the tens digit and $u$ is the units digit.
    
  2. Formulate equations based on the given conditions.

    Condition 1: The product of its digits is 20.
    $$
    t \times u = 20 \quad (1)
    $$
    Condition 2: When the digits are reversed, the number formed is greater than the original number by 9.  
    The reversed number is $10u + t$.
    $$
    10u + t = (10t + u) + 9
    $$
    $$
    10u + t = 10t + u + 9
    $$
    $$
    9u - 9t = 9
    $$
    Divide by 9:
    $$
    u - t = 1 \quad (2)
    $$
    
  3. Solve the system of equations.

    From equation (2), express $u$ in terms of $t$:
    $$
    u = t + 1
    $$
    Substitute this into equation (1):
    $$
    t(t + 1) = 20
    $$
    $$
    t^2 + t = 20
    $$
    $$
    t^2 + t - 20 = 0
    $$
    
  4. Solve the quadratic equation for tt.

    Factor the quadratic equation:
    $$
    (t + 5)(t - 4) = 0
    $$
    This gives two possible values for $t$: $t = -5$ or $t = 4$.  
    Since $t$ must be a positive digit, we take $t = 4$.
    
  5. Find the value of uu.

    Using $u = t + 1$:
    $$
    u = 4 + 1 = 5
    $$
    
  6. Form the original number.

    The number is $10t + u = 10(4) + 5 = 45$.  
    The two-digit number is $\boxed{\text{45}}$.
    

    9. To calculate the total cost for hiring the car:

  7. Calculate the cost for the days of hire.

    Daily rate = Sh 2500  
    Number of days = 5
    $$
    \text{Cost for days} = 2500 \text{ Sh/day} \times 5 \text{ days} = 12500 \text{ Sh}
    $$
    
  8. Calculate the cost for kilometers covered.

    Total kilometers driven = 40 km  
    Free kilometers per day = 30 km  
    Total free kilometers for 5 days = $30 \text{ km/day} \times 5 \text{ days} = 150 \text{ km}$  
    Since the total kilometers driven (40 km) is less than the total free kilometers (150 km), there is no charge for the kilometers.
    $$
    \text{Cost for kilometers} = 0 \text{ Sh}
    $$
    
  9. Calculate the total cost.

    $$
    \text{Total Cost} = \text{Cost for days} + \text{Cost for kilometers}
    $$
    $$
    \text{Total Cost} = 12500 \text{ Sh} + 0 \text{ Sh} = 12500 \text{ Sh}
    $$
    The total cost is $\boxed{\text{Sh 12500}}$.
    

    7. a) To write the equation of the circle:

  10. Write the standard equation of a circle.

    The standard equation of a circle with center $(h, k)$ and radius $r$ is $(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$.  
    Given center $P(5, 5)$, so $h=5$, $k=5$.  
    Given radius $r=5$.
    
  11. Substitute the values into the standard equation.

    $$
    (x - 5)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 5^2
    $$
    
  12. Expand the equation.

    $$
    (x^2 - 10x + 25) + (y^2 - 10y + 25) = 25
    $$
    
  13. Rearrange into the general form ax2+by2+cx+dy+e=0ax^2 + by^2 + cx + dy + e = 0.

    $$
    x^2 + y^2 - 10x - 10y + 25 + 25 - 25 = 0
    $$
    $$
    x^2 + y^2 - 10x - 10y + 25 = 0
    $$
    The equation of the circle is $\boxed{x^2 + y^2 - 10x - 10y + 25 = 0}$.
    
    b) The point A is not provided in the question or any accompanying diagram. Therefore, the gradient of PA cannot be determined.
    
    c) The point Q is not provided in the question or any accompanying diagram. Therefore, the equation of the tangent at Q cannot be determined.
