The zero of a polynomial p(x) is the value of x for which p(x) = 0. For the given polynomial p(x) = 2x + 5, we set it equal to zero and solve for x.

Equation: 2x + 5 = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides: 2x = − 5

Divide both sides by 2: $x = \frac{- 5}{2}$

Therefore, the zero of the polynomial is $\frac{- 5}{2}$ .
