Question

Javier used the expression below to represent his score in a game of mini-golf.

3x + x + 5 – 2x

If he simplifies the expression, which statements are true about the parts of the simplified expression? Check all that apply.

1-The constant is 2.
2-The coefficient is 2.
3-The constant is 5.
4-The coefficient is 5.
5-There are two variables.
6-There are two terms.

Answer 1

think its 2 3 and 6

Explanation:

sorry if im late

Answer 2

Answer: The correct options are

(2) The coefficient is 2.

(3) The constant is 5.

(6) There are two terms.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Javier used the expression below to represent his score in a game of mini-golf :

`E=3x+x+5-2x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

We are to select the correct statements about the parts of the simplified expression if Javier simplifies the expression.

The simplification of expression (i) is as follows :

`E\\\\=3x+x+5-2x\\\\=(3+1-2)x+5\\\\=2x+5.`

Therefore, we get

the constant term is 5,

the coefficient of x is 2

and

There are two terms.

Thus, options (2), (3) and (6) are correct.
