6. evan has 356 stuffed animals, all of the which are either monkeys or giraffes. the number of giraffes he owns is 17 more than twice the number of monkeys, how many monkeys does he have?

It is given in the question that

Evan has 356 stuffed animals, all of the which are either monkeys or giraffes. The number of giraffes he owns is 17 more than twice the number of monkeys.

Let the number of monkeys be x. Therefore number of giraffes are

And total number of animals are 356.

That is

Subtracting 17 from both sides ,

Dividing both sides by 3

Therefore the number of monkeys are 113 .

the answer is 1/4

step-by-step explanation:

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!
