Mr. John Doe was figuring out his federal income tax. His income was $26,800, but he was able to subtract $5,500 in deductions. He paid 15% of the remaining income in tax. How much did he pay?

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!

step-by-step explanation:

*calories burned = (weight)(calorie factor)*

calories burned = 180 (0.65)

calories burned = 117

the calories he used up is 117, which is 65% of his weight.  

c.the first excerpt shows their expectations about the camp, and the second shows the reality of their circumstances

is the answer this is because first they talk about what is expected of the camp but in the second excerpt they get a harsh awakening to the true realities of the camp.

hope this

i would appreciate brainliest : )
