Question

In the expression 2x + 3, the 2 is a __________.

A)
coefficient


B)
power


C)
product


D)
quotient

Answer 1

The 2 is a coeffiecient.

The answer is A.

Answer 2

Option A is correct.

In linear expression 2x+3, 2 is the coefficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coefficient states that a number used to multiply a variable.

like; 7x means 7 times x and "x" is a variable , so the coefficient is 7.

Or

Variables with no number have a coefficient of 1 (i.e, x which has coefficient 1).

For the linear equation ax+b , where x is the variable and a is the coefficient.

For the given linear expression 2x+3

here x is the variable

and 2 is the coefficient.
