Can someone please help me reset the counter(?) in the code below. The Answer section should start with #1
. I do need
\RenewTasks[resume, style=custom,label-align=right]{tasks}(2)
in the preamble.
Thank you.
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[a4paper, top=2cm, bottom=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{multicol, paralist, multirow, amsmath, amsthm, amssymb, amsfonts, ulem}

\DeclareInstance{tasks}{custom}{default}{
counter-format = tsk. ,
label-format = \bfseries ,
label-width = 2em ,
label-offset = .3333em ,
after-item-skip = 5pt
}
\RenewTasks[resume, style=custom,label-align=right]{tasks}(2)

In Exercises 1-8, factor the common factor in the polynomials.
\begin{tasks}(3)
\task
$3x^3 - 21x$
\task
$5x^6 + 15x^4$
\task
$4x^3 + 10x^2 - 2x$
\end{tasks}

This is a long word problem, more than one line. I can't seem to use rlap for this. I have to use another begin{tasks} section here.
\end{tasks}
In Exercises 8-13, solve the polynomial equations.
\begin{tasks}(2)
\task
$x(x+12) = 0$
\task
$(2x+1)(2x-1) = 0$
\end{tasks}

Answers:
\begin{tasks}(2)
\task
$3x(x^2-7)$
\task
$5x^4(x^2+3)$
\task
$2x(2x^2+5x-1)$

answer to the word problem
\task
$x=0, \, x = -12$
\task
$x = - \, \dfrac 12, \, x = \, \dfrac 12$

Best Answer
Two things:
To accomodate a long item, you don't need to start a new environment. Just use
\task*
Second, you can pass the option
[resume=false]
locally, when you type answersFull code:
As an aside, instead of hard coding question ranges, you can label the questions and use
\ref
As an alternative, you may define these:
and use them like
so that code is more readable. You may change the separator
\task
too, if you wish. For details refer to the manual.
