Statistics is not an exact science, meaning that with any answer, there will be variance. This is because the sample size used to obtain values is always smaller than the population being studied.
In total, he drank 2 liters.
In millimeters, this is:
2,000 milliliters.
1 liter = 1,000 milliliters
2 liters = 1,000×2
= 2,000 millimetres
Answer:
substitute that value for x in the polynomial and see if it evaluates to zero
Step-by-step explanation:
A "zero" of a polynomial is a value of the polynomial's variable that make the expression become zero when it is evaluated. As an almost trivial example, consider the polynomial x-3. The value x = 3 is a zero because substituting that value for x makes the expression evaluate as zero.
3 -3 = 0
___
Evaluating polynomials can be done different ways. Straight substitution for the variable is one way. Using synthetic division by x-a (where "a" is the value of interest) is another way. This latter method is completely equivalent to rewriting the polynomial to Horner form for evaluation.

In the attachment, Horner Form is shown at the bottom.
According to your question, there are 2 unknown numbers mentioned.
Let the 2 unknown numbers be represented by the variables x & y, then
x is considered to be one of the numbers being more than y by the addition of 4, .ie.
x = 4 + y --- (1)
The sum of the 2 numbers is 60, i.e.
x + y = 60 --- (2)
To find the smaller number, we solve eqn (1) & (2) using the concept of substitution, i.e. substitute 4 + y for x in eqn (2), i.e.
4 + y + y = 60
4 + 2y = 60
2y = 60 - 4
2y = 56
y = 28 ...Ans.
Recall that x is more than y by 4, then 28 is the smaller number.
