Question

In the expression 3v - 8, what is the variable a= V b= - c= 3 d= 8

Answer 1

Answer:

a. v

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$3v - 8$

Required

Identify the variable

Literary, variable means things that change in values;

Going by this definition, we have that:

3 -> This is not a variable because its value will always be 3

v -> This is a variable because its value can change once its value changes, the result of the expression will also change

- -> This is not a variable; it is an arithmetic operator to subtract

8 -> This is not a variable because its value will always be 8

Take for instance

$v = 2$

$3v - 8 = 3 * 2 - 8 = 6 - 8 = -2$

When $v =5$

$3v - 8 = 3 * 5 - 8 = 15 - 8 = 7$

Notice that there's a difference in both results;

This is as a result of v being a variable
