(06.03)

For the expression 6 - y + 3, determine the coefficient for the variable term.

-1

0

3

6

Answer 1

-1

Step-by-step explanation: I took the test

Answer 2

The coefficient of variable term y is -1

Explanation:

We have an expression given in the question that is:

6 - y + 3

We have to find the coefficient of the variable term.

In mathematics, variable can be defined as any term which is to be measured. For example in the given expression, y is the variable because its value is unknown yet and it has to be measured.

Coefficients are the number the multiply the variable

For example

In 2x, x is the variable and 2 is the coefficient.

Now in the given expression, we have

6 - y + 3

or

6 + (-1)(y) + 3

So considering (-1)(y), the variable is y while its coefficent is -1
