Question

What are the like terms, coefficients, and constants in the equation 2+3a+9a

Answer 1

Answer:

Like Terms: $3a$ and $4a$.

Coefficients: $3$ and $9$.

Constant: $2$

Step-by-step explanation:

"Like terms" are terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the $2$ in $x^2$) are the same. In other words, terms that are "like" each other.Example: $3x$, $4x$, and $7x$ are like terms because they all have $x$.

Coefficients are a number used to multiply a variable. In the above example, the coefficients would be $3$, $4$, and $7$. In your problem, they're $3$ and $9$.

Constants are numbers not attached to variables. See the diagram attached.
