Oneta writes an algebraic expression with three terms. The y-term has a coefficient of -3, and the x-term has a coefficient of 1. The expression does not have a constant term. Which expression could she have written?

a. x - y^2 - 3y
b. x - 3y + 6
c. x + 3y^2 + 3y
d. x + 3y + 7

Answer 1

x - y² - 3y → a

The y- term has a coefficient (number in front of the variable) of - 3

The x-term has a coefficient of 1 ( x represents 1x)

There is no constant term ( that is, no numeric value )

The y² term has a coefficient of - 1 but is not included in the description given.

The expression could therefore be x - y² - 3y
