Answer:

-10.6 & 9/10

Explanation:

A constant is a value that doesn't change. The values in this equation the don't change are -10.6 & 9/10. 2/5m, 2.4n, & 3m are coefficients, numbers that multiply a variable. Therefore, -10.6 & 9/10 are the constants.

Hope this helps! (I got it right on Edgen. Trust me.)

Answer:

10.6 and 9/10

Explanation:

To better understand the expression let us reformat it as

-10.6+ (9/10) + (2/5)m - 2.4n + 3m

From the above expression we now have a better knowledge/ idea of how the constant terms

The constant terms are terms/numbers standing alone without an attached variable, they are independent.

The constants are

-10.6 and 9/10
