Question

Elsa knows that for every bushel of apples she sells she earns $9 and for every basket of pears she earns $11. She uses the expression 9a + 11p to keep track of her earnings.

Part A: Identify the coefficients and variables 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 selling baskets of pears? (3 points)

I meant to put this under mathematics but that didn't happen...no one is helping there

Answer 1

coefficients are 9 and 11, and the variables are a and p

there are 2 terms 9a and 11p you can tell because they have a + inbetween

and you can use 11p to find the total from selling pears

just a tip make sure to study this concept until you fully understand it because you will need it later in math/algebra
