Question

Javier used the expression below to represent his score in a game of mini-golf. 3x + x + 5 – 2x If he simplifies the expression, which statements are true about the parts of the simplified expression? Check all that apply.
The constant is 2.
The coefficient is 2.
The constant is 5.
The coefficient is 5.
There are two variables.
There are two terms.

Answer 1

The constant is 5
The coefficient is 2 (3x-2x+x= 2x)
There are two terms

Answer 2

Answer:

Option 2nd, 3rd and 6th are correct

The coefficient is 2.

The constant is 5.

There are two terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Terms :

It is defined as the each term in an algebraic expression is separated by + sign or - sign.

Coefficient:

A number used to multiply a variable.

for example: 4z then coefficient is, 4

As per the statement:

Javier used the expression below to represent his score in a game of mini-golf:

$3x + x + 5 -2x$

Combine like terms':

$2x + 5$

In the given simplified expression:

variable is x

Constant term = 5

Coefficient is 2

There are two terms i.e 2x and 5
