Consider x is time in minutes
Consider y is the amount of fish food required in grams
The equation could then represent how much food (in grams) that a fish needs to be fed x minutes after it was previously fed.
Simplify by combing like terms to get 2x+5
The answers would be:
the coefficient is 2
the constant is 5
There are two terms.
