Question

Sally identified the terms of the expression 9a + 4b - 18 as 9, 4, and 18. Explain her error.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the terms of the expression , Sally has to write coefficients with the variables

Terms: 9a , 4b , - 18

coefficient of b is = 1

Coefficient of a term is the numerical value of the variable

Answer 2

A term is a single mathematical expression. It may be a single number (positive or negative), a single variable (a letter), several variables multiplied but never added or subtracted. Some terms contain variables with a number in front of them. The number in front of a term is called a coefficient.

So the terms are 9a, 4b, and 18.
