Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
A coefficient is a numerical factor that contains a variable.
In this case, 3 is a numerical factor and contains a variable (y).
Hence,
3 is the coefficient of the expression.
Yes...thats what u want to do. you want to get the x terms on one side and everything else on the other side.
8x = 7x + 3....so we will subtract 7x from both sides
8x - 7x = 7x - 7x + 3....simplify
1x, or just x = 3 (because ur 7x's cancelled each other out)
so ur answer is : x = 3
and u can check ur answer by subbing it back into the original equation.
8x = 7x + 3
8(3) = 7(3) + 3
24 = 21 + 3
24 = 24 (correct)
