Dante and Erica just returned from a comic bookstore that sells new and used comic books. Dante spend $10.25 on 2 new and 3 old books, and Erica spend 13.75 on 10 used and 3 new
ones. Which system of equations can be used to find how much the new and old books costs?

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!

h * s * a

h = history teacher

s = science teacher

a =   art teacher.

i see no data table, but just multiply the number of history teachers, science teachers, and art teachers.

(5x-1)^2= (5x)^2-2(5x)×1+(1)^2=25x^2-10x+1

the answer is c hope this
