Laneka owns a cake shop. She is currently preparing cakes for two anniversary parties. The first cake has 3 small tiers and 1 medium tier and will serve a total of 100 guests. The second one has 3 small tiers and 2 medium tiers and will serve a total of 140 guests. Using the system, how many people would a medium tier feed and how many people would a small tier feed? 3s+m=100
3s+2m=140

m=40

s=20

Step-by-step explanation:

One medium tier will feed 40 people, and one small tier will feed 20 people. Hope this helps!

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!
