Answer:

In the given expression the coefficient of x is 3

Explanation:

Given that Jill simplified the expression shown


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

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

Expression:


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

Combining like terms, we get


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


3x+3y-8

Hence, in the above expression the coefficient of x is 3
