Question

Each month, Allison gets a $15 allowance and earns $100 working at the theater. She uses the expression 15x + 100y to keep track of her earnings.

Part A: Identify the variables and coefficients in the expression. (3 points)

Part B: How many terms are in the expression, what are they, and how do you know? (4 points)

Part C: Which term in the expression shows the total earned from her allowance? (3 points)

Answer 1

Part A:

Variables: x & y

Coefficients: 15 & 100

Part B:

1st term: 15x

2nd term: 100y

There is 2 terms, and it is called an "binomial"

Part C:

Note that her allowance is $15, and the amount earned depends on the variable connected to it, or x

x should be your answer

hope this helps
