Question

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

Answer 1

-1 is the answer
If the variable is by itself or you don't see a coefficient, the coefficient is always 1

Answer 2

The coefficient for the variable term is -1

Explanation:

Coefficient states that a number is used to multiply with the variable.

for example: 6a where a is the variable and 6 is the coefficient.

Given the expression:

`6-y+3`

then;

`3-y`

By definition of coefficient

here, y is the variable

coefficient is -1

therefore, the coefficient for the variable term is -1
