Question

15-8x Choose ALL of the statements that are TRUE. The factors are 8 and x. The coefficient is -8. The constant is -8. The terms are 15 and -8x. The coefficient is 15. The constant is 15.

Answer 1

3 Answers:

• Coefficient is -8
• Terms are 15 and -8x
• Constant is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient is the number just to the left of the variable. So that's why -8 is the coefficient for -8x. This is the variable term while 15 is the constant (it has no variable multiplied with it). The two terms are 15 and -8x since we can write 15-8x as 15+(-8x). Terms are separated by a plus sign.
