Question

Jill simplified the expression shown.4x – 2y – x + 5y – 8What is the coefficient of the x-term of the fully simplified expression?3468

Answer 1

When you simplify that expression by combining like terms you will get 3x+3y-8. The coefficient on the x-term is 3.

Answer 2

3

Explanation:

We are given that Jill simplified an expression

`4x-2y-x+5y-8`

We have to find the coefficient of x-term of the fully simplified expression

In order to find the coefficient of x- term we will rearrange the terms

Rearrange the terms and we get

`4x-x-2y+5y-8`

`3x-2y+5y-8`

`3x+3y-8`

Coefficient of x -term =Constant value multiply with x

Constant value multiplied with x term =3

Hence, the coefficient of x-term =3
