Question

Write an expression with a variable m, a coefficient -3, and a constant of 17

Answer 1

-3m-17 or -3m+17

Explanation:

the variable is m

coefficient is the # before the variable: For example the 4 in 4x

The constant is like the added or subtracted #

Answer 2

-3m + 17

Explanation:

A coefficient is a number that goes in front of the variable, so -3 would go in front of m. A constant is just a number on it's own, so it would be +17
