Answer:

9 is the coefficient

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 4x

These are like terms (they both have the same variable (x))

5x + 4x = 9x

The coefficient is 9, since it's the number in front of a variable.

keeping in mind that anything raised at the 0 power, is 1, with the sole exception of 0 itself.

\cfrac{(r^{-7}b^{-8})^0}{t^{-4}w}\implies \cfrac{1}{t^{-4}w}\implies \cfrac{1}{t^{-4}}\cdot \cfrac{1}{w}\implies t^4\cdot \cfrac{1}{w}\implies \cfrac{t^4}{w}$
