Answer:

  • Option B

Explanation:

Definition of variables: Variables are terms that have no coefficients.

To look for variables in the expression 2w + 11t + 4y, simply look for the variables (letters) in the expression. We can see that the variables are w, t, and y, which matches Option B.

Hence, Option B is correct.

Answer:

B. w, t, and y

Explanation:

Delete the numbers and the math operators and what you have left are variables. You will want to eliminate any duplicates from the list (there aren't any duplicate).

The variables are w, t, y.
