Question

Simplify the expression 6x+12y+5+2y+8 what is the coefficient of y and what is the constant

Answer 1

6x+12y+5+2y+8
= 6x+ (12y+2y)+ (5+8) (combine like terms)
= 6x+ 14y+ 13

Coefficient of y: 14
Constant: 13

Hope this helps~

Answer 2

We want to find the coeficient of the y terms when added together so find all the y terms

+12y and +2y
we add them together
12y+2y=(12+2)y=(14)y=14y
coeficient is 14


the constant is the number that is set already or the number that doesn't have it multiplied by a placeholder exg. 4 is a constnat but 4x is not so find the constants
+5 and +8
we add
5+8=13
the constant is 13


y coeficient=14
constant=14
