A. There are none
B. (-2) and (-3)
C. 5 and (-9)
D. (-3) and (-9)

Answer 1

The constants in the given expression are 5 and -9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The constants in the expression -3W + 5 - 2w - 9 are 5 and -9.

1. -3W: The coefficient -3 is a constant because it does not change when multiplied by a variable.
2. 5: It is a constant because it is an absolute value with no variables attached.
3. -2w: The coefficient -2 is not a constant because it changes when multiplied by a variable.
4. -9: It is a constant because it is an absolute value with no variables attached.
