First, we are going to want to plug in the values we are given. In this case, we will end up with the equation:
From here, we can solve the equation to find :
- Apply the commutative property to rearrange the terms on the right-side of the equation to make the distributive property more apparent
- Apply the distributive property
- Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation
- Divide both sides of the equation by -2
We have found that c = 1.
The coefficient is a number before a variable.
Here, the coefficient is 9.
The like terms are any terms that have the same variable.
Here, 9k and -k are like terms, and 7 and 4 are like terms as well.
Combine like terms:
8k+3
The constants are: 7 and 4 (Constants are numbers in an expression or equation)
After combining like terms, the constant became
3
