Starting equation:
92=J+L+B
To find how much money Jane has, we use the equation:
J=5+3L
To find how much money Bob has, we use the equation:
B=4L-1
Enter those equations in the problem
92=(5+3L)+L+(4L-1)
Combine like terms
92=4+8L
Subtract 4 to isolate variable
88=8L
Divide by 8 to isolate variable
11=L
Answer:
Lonnie has $11
Jane has $38
Bob has $43
side note: Lonnie is that one poor friend we all have
SAS i believe :) sorry if im wrong!
There's no if about it,

has a zero

so

is a factor. That's the special case of the Remainder Theorem; since

we'll get a remainder of zero when we divide

by

At this point we can just divide or we can try more little numbers in the function. It doesn't take too long to discover

too, so

is a factor too by the remainder theorem. I can find the third zero as well; but let's say that's out of range for most folks.
So far we have

where

is the zero we haven't guessed yet. Again we could divide

by

but just looking at the constant term we must have

so

We check

We usually talk about the zeros of a function and the roots of an equation; here we have a function

whose zeros are
