Question

In an equation the number of solutions must match its......?

Answer 1

If you have a `third degree` polynomial,
it will have up to three solutions
corresponding to the fact that it can have up to `three zeroes/x-intercepts`.

Hmm the question is a little vague though.
Do they only mean real solutions?
Are they talking about polynomials?

Hmm I'm not quite sure what they're looking for here :[
Maybe that will give you some ideas though.
