Question

Identify the constant term in this expression. −14x + 16 + 6x + 2y

Answer 1

Answer:

$16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Combine like terms

$-14x + 16 + 6x + 2y$

$(-14x + 6x) + 2y + 16$

$-8x + 2y + 16$

Step 2:  The constant is the number without a variable.

$-8x + 2y + 16$

The only number without a variable is number 16.  So... the answer is 16.

Answer:  $16$
