Steven has $150. John has J dollars. Steven has 30 less than 2 times the amount John has. How much does John have?

J = 90

John has 90 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how much money John has. To find how much J equals we need to break it down.

We already know that Steven has 150 dollars. We also know that he has 30 less than two times the amount John has.

Steven has 30 less than two times the amount John has.

So 150 + 30 = 180

180 is two times the amount John has.

Because 180 is two times the amount John has we need to divide by two.

180 ÷ 2 = 90.

J = 90. Therefore John has 90 dollars.

This question was tricky! I hope I helped a little! Have a great day!!

let's fu(!

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
