Answer 1

There are 3 true answers and they are:

B) -3.7

C) 1/3

F) 12

==================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant terms are ones that don't have a variable attached to them. The terms are: 12, x, -3.7, -8y, and 1/3. The terms are separated by a plus sign. You can think of subtraction as adding a negative, eg, x - 3 = x + (-3)

The first constant is 12, then the next constant is -3.7. The term x is not a constant as it changes. The same can be said about the term -8y. The term 1/3 is constant.

note: -8 is not a constant, but instead, it is a coefficient. Choice A is a trick answer.
