Answer: The correct options are
(2) The coefficient is 2.
(3) The constant is 5.
(6) There are two terms.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that Javier used the expression below to represent his score in a game of mini-golf :
![E=3x+x+5-2x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%3D3x%2Bx%2B5-2x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~%28i%29)
We are to select the correct statements about the parts of the simplified expression if Javier simplifies the expression.
The simplification of expression (i) is as follows :
![E\\\\=3x+x+5-2x\\\\=(3+1-2)x+5\\\\=2x+5.](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D3x%2Bx%2B5-2x%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%283%2B1-2%29x%2B5%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D2x%2B5.)
Therefore, we get
the constant term is 5,
the coefficient of x is 2
and
There are two terms.
Thus, options (2), (3) and (6) are correct.
