Question

For the linear expression in X, give the constant term and coefficient of x

7x - x + 9
The constant term is
The coefficient of x is

Answer 1

9 and 6

Explanation:

7x - x + 9 ← collect like terms

= (7x - x) + 9

= 6x + 9

the constant term is the numeric term, with no variable ( letter) attached

the constant term is + 9

the coefficient of x is the numeric value before x

the coefficient of x is 6
