What I would do is convert the fractions to decimals (just personal preference) making the trombone 8.93 feet and the french horn 17.21 feet. The tuba would be 0.79 feet longer than the french horn, and the french horn would be 8.23 feet longer than the trombone. However, if you need the answer to remain a fraction, the tuba would be 11/14 feet longer than a french horn, and a french horn would be 8 3/14 feet longer than a trombone.
6 + y - 3
We cans simplify that to:
y + 3
The coefficient is the number in front of the variable. y is nothing by 1y. So the coefficient is 1.
The variable is y.
The constant is the number without the variable, which is 3.
The answer you are looking for is 1, which is the coefficient.
Step-by-step explanation:
-x=6+2y
2y=-x-6
y= -x/2 -3
