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.
U=6 u add 5u and u get 8u on the left side then u divide by 8 and u get 6 so U=6
Answer:
Ron got 3 additional toppings
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets call the amount of toppings that Ron got t. With this, we can set up the following equation:
8.95+0.65t=10.90
Subtract 8.95 from both sides:
0.65t=1.95
Divide both sides by 0.65:
t=3
