Question

Simplify the expression

9x + 2y + 6 + 9y + 7
what's the coefficient of y?
what's the constant?

Answer 1

First you need to combine like terms.

9x + 11y + 13

A coefficient is the number that comes before the variable (which is y).

The coefficient for y is 11.

Constants are the numbers that do not have variables attached to them.

The constant is 13.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

1)
`9x + 2y + 6 + 9y + 7=9x +11y+13`

2) The coefficient of y is 11.

3) The constant is 13.

Explanation:

Given : Expression
`9x + 2y + 6 + 9y + 7`

To find :

1) Simplify the expression

2) What's the coefficient of y?

3) What's the constant?

Solution :

1)
`9x + 2y + 6 + 9y + 7`

Solve like terms together,

`9x + 2y + 6 + 9y + 7=9x +11y+13`

2) The coefficient is the number before any variable or multiple of any variable.

The coefficient of y is 11.

3) The constant is the number on its own.

The constant is 13.
