Question

PLEASE HELP what is the coefficient in the expression below 2x-8​

Answer 1

Answer:

2x - 8

Parts of an equation:

2 - coefficient

x - variable

8 - constant

The number 2 is not a coefficient in the expression. FALSE.

The expression has three terms. FALSE. two terms only: 2x & 8

The variable in the expression is x. TRUE

The number 2 is a constant in the expression. FALSE

The expression has one variable term. FALSE. 2x is term but it's a combination of a number and a letter. Variable term is letter only.

Answer 2

Hello.

The coefficient is the number before a variable (letter)

The constant is also a number.

What's the difference between a constant and a coefficient?

Well, a coefficient is always before a variable, and a constant is just a number (without any variables next to it)

In this case, the variable is x, the number before x is 2, and 8 is the constant.

Therefore, 2 is the coefficient in this expression.

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
