Question

Which statement is true about the parts of this expression?

StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction + one-fourth x minus y
The constant is StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction.
The only coefficient is One-fourth.
The only variable is y.
The terms StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction and One-fourth x are like terms.

Answer 1

It's A if you don't want to read. A). The constant is 5/6

Explanation:

Answer 2

The constant is StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction

Explanation:

StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction + one-fourth x minus y

5/6 + 1/4x - y

A. The constant is StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction.

True

B. The only coefficient is One-fourth.

False

There are two coefficients: the coefficient of x which is 1/4 and the coefficient of y which is 1

C. The only variable is y

False

There are 2 variables: variable x and variable y

D. The terms StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction and One-fourth x are like terms.

False

5/6 and 1/4x are not like terms

The only true statement is: The constant is StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction
