Answer:

The number that multiplies a variable in a term is called coefficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the algebraic expression shown below, terms are the elements that are separated by the operating symbols (plus or minus signs).

2x^2+3y+7xy+5

The above example has 4 terms 2x^2,\ 3y,\ 7xy, \text{and}\ 5

Variable:

The letters represent the variable in an algebraic expression. In the above algebraic expression <em>x</em> and <em>y </em>are the variables.

Coefficients:

The numerical part of the term is known as coefficient. In the above algebraic expression the coefficient of the first terms i.e. 2x^2 is 2 second term i.e 3y is 3 and third term i.e. 7xy is 7.

Hence, the number that multiplies a variable in a term is called coefficient.

<h3>A number that multiplies a variable in a term is known as a coefficient.</h3>

Given the term: 6x^3, we can identify three parts:

The coefficient, 6, is the constant that is being multiplied by the variable.

The variable, x, is a number with an unknown value, or with multiple potential values.

The exponent, 3, is the power with which the variable is being raised to.

Solve -2(n + 5) + 6n = 14 for n.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

n=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -> -2(n+5)+6n=14

Distributive Property -> -2n-10+6n=14

Combine like terms -> 4n-10=14

Add 10 to both sides -> 4n=24

Divide both sides by 4 -> n=6

So n=6
