Question

Jill simplified the expression shown.

Answer 1

The answer is 3 because 4x-x=3x

Answer 2

Answer:

In the given expression the coefficient of x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jill simplified the expression shown

$4x-2y-x+5y-8$

we have to find the coefficient of the x-term of the fully simplified expression.

Expression:

$4x-2y-x+5y-8$

Combining like terms, we get

$4x-x-2y+5y-8$

$3x+3y-8$

Hence, in the above expression the coefficient of x is 3
