Question

Eric sells shirts. It costs him $100 to buy all the shirts and $10, total, to print designs on them. Eric sells each shirt for $4. So far he has sold 20 shirts. He uses the equation y = 4x − 110 to calculate his profit. In the equation y = 4x − 110, which is the constant term?

A) y
B) 4
C) x
D) −110

Answer 1

D) -110

Explanation:

x and y are variables, and any number that is in front of a variable (multiplication) is called a coefficient. 4 is the coefficient. x can be substituted. A constant is a number that does not change. -110 is the constant.
