Question

What is the coefficient in the expression 5+ 9y

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient is the number directly next to the variable, in this case, the variable being y, and the number being 9.

In the question:

9y + 5,

9 is the coefficient

y is the variable

5 is a constant (does not change).

Note that the coefficient and constant cannot change, but the value of the variable (y) can vary (hence the name).

Answer 2

The coefficient is number 9, because it is in front of the variable y.

Hope this helps.
