<h3><em>Let's solve this! We </em><em>can </em><em>do this! </em>
>>> First, let's multiply -5 by b and 1. Then we obtain
.
>>> Now we add 5 to both sides.
>>> And then, divide both sides by -5.
>>> That is the value of b.

The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial with degree n has at most n solutions. The "at most" depends on the fact that the solutions might not all be real number.
In fact, if you use complex number, then a polynomial with degree n has exactly n roots.
So, in particular, a third-degree polynomial can have at most 3 roots.
In fact, in general, if the polynomial has solutions
, then you can factor it as
So, a third-degree polynomial can't have 4 (or more) solutions, because otherwise you could write it as
But this is a fourth-degree polynomial.
