Question

Determine if each statement is True or False. If False, determine what needs to be

changed to make the statement True.
a. In 5x - 8,5 is the constant.
b. In x - 6.5, x is the variable.
C. In 9y + 38, 38 is the constant.

Answer 1

a. False. A constant is a number on it's own, and 5 would be the coefficient of x. 8 would be the constant.

b. False. -6.5 would be the constant, since it's on its own. But actually, x would be carrying on a coefficient of 1. Letters are variables, not constants.

c. True.
