Suppose we have a generic polynomial of the form:

To know how many roots the polynomial can have, the first thing you should do is observe the term of greatest exponent.
For this case, the term of greatest exponent is 2.
Therefore, the polynomial has 2 roots.
Answer:
You must observe the term of the polynomial with greater exponent.
Answer: 33 333,33 per month or 400 000 per year
Step-by-step explanation:
You need 48 000 + 0.035X = 62 000
So ( 62 000 - 48 000 ) / 0.035 = X
Then you can divide X per 12 (months in a year)
And you have your answer per month .
So 33 333,33 total sale per month to have at least as high as the average pay
1. (5x-8)=(8x-17)
5x-8x=-17+8
-3x=-9
x=3
2. (3x+5) + (4x-7) =180
3x+5+4x-7=180
3x+4x=180-5+7
7x=182
x=26
