PDF files can be split into parts. In you are on a Mac, the built-in Preview app can extract and delete pages from a PDF file.
Google Chrome is also capable of splitting PDF files using its print-to-PDF feature. Open the file (if not open already) in Chrome by dragging the file to a window. Select Print as if you were going to print to your printer, but instead click Change under "Destination" and choose Save as PDF. Under Pages, specify the range of pages you want to extract, and save.
Some commercial software is able to make limited modifications to PDF files, and they work with the files from WorksheetWorks.com. Adobe Acrobat and Readdle PDF Expert are just two. They are able to add new text elements, delete others, and even move things around the page.
For worksheets that need answers, they are always found on a page included in the PDF file. The answers will not be found on the website itself.

So, make sure that you hold on to the original PDF or answer key page, or you might find yourself working all the problems yourself.

If you are not signed in already, there is a link on the sign in dialog that offers to reset your password. It will send a link to your email address. Using that link (or the code) demonstrates that you own that email address, and the website will allow you to provide a new password.
This happens occasionally, especially when using cards issued by banks outside the United States. In almost all cases, it's the credit card issuing bank that rejected the transaction. You should call your bank to find out why they are not allowing the transaction to go through.
