Question

Identify the variables, coefficients, and constants of the following equations.

3x = 12
y = 1/2x - 6

Answer 1

Variables are the letters that represent a number. So, it would be the ones bolded here: 3x=12 and y=1/2x-6

The coefficients are next to the variables-the ones being multiplied with the variable. They are bolded here: 3x= 12 and y= 1/2x-6

The constants are the numbers that aren't coefficients or variables. So they are bolded here: 3x=12 and y=1/2x-6
