Question

What do the words coefficient and constant mean in mathematics?

Answer 1

coefficients are the numbers before a variable (e. 4b) and constants are numbers that say the same, or numbers wo a variable (e. 4)

Answer 2

Explanation:

Coefficients are the numbers that come BEFORE a variable, just as 55 is in the term 55x. Constants are numbers in an equation that never change, unless you add them with another constant. For example, in the equation 34x+55=24, the constants are 55 and 24. The only way that either changes is by subtracting the 55 from the 24.
