Question

Enter the terms and the coefficients of the expression.

-40+5p - 7z
The terms are
, and
and -
The coefficients are

Answer 1

• The terms are -40, and 5p and -7z.

• The coefficients are: 5 and -7.

Explanation:

We know that the terms of an expression could be a constant or a variable or a constant with a variable.

and the coefficient of the expression are the constant terms which is multiplied to the variable term.

Here we have the expression as:

-40+5p - 7z.

There are a total of three terms:

-40 , 5p and -7z

Also, there are two variables p and z.

The coefficients are: 5 (in the term 5p)

and -7 (in the variable term -7z )

Answer 2

The terms are -40, 5p and - 7z .

The coefficients are 5 and -7.

Explanation:

The terms of the expression are separated by the plus sign and minus sign.

The coefficient is the number or parameter that is written to the left of a variable or unknown and that indicates the number of times it must be multiplied.
