Question

Each month, Marneshia gets a $35 allowance and earns $200 working at the restaurant. She uses the expression 35x + 200y to keep track of her earnings.

Part A: Identify the variables and coefficients in the expression.
Part B: How many terms are in the expression, what are they, and how do you know?
Part C: Which term in the expression shows the total earned from the restaurant?

Answer 1

A: The variable's x and y represents the number of months she has worked and 35 and 200 are the amounta of money she gets from the allowance and restaurant.
B: There are two terms in the expression, which are x and y.
C: The term that shows the total earned from the restaurant is 200y.

Answer 2

Part A- The variables are the letters in the equation so x and y. The coefficients are the numbers in the equations so 35 and 200.

Part B- The terms are the different parts of the equation. So 3x and 200y are the terms.

Part C- The question tells you she "earns $200 working at the restaurant" so 200y is the term which shows the total earnings at the restaurant.
