Answer:

The constant is 12

Explanation:

To find the constant in 7y + 4x + 4 -2x + 8 given, we will follow the steps below;

First we will add or subtract numbers with the same variables and also add or subtract the constant as the case may be

In this question we will subtract 2x from 4x because the have the same coefficient and then we will add four and eight together since they are both constant

That is;

Lets first rearrange

7y + 4x -2x + 4 + 8

7y + 2x + 12

The constant is 12
