Question

Read the statements below about the following algebraic expression:

2 c plus 7 e plus 1
Select ALL of the statements that are true.
Group of answer choices
A. e is a coefficient
B. 2 is a coefficient
C. 2c and 1 are like terms
D. c is a variable

Answer 1

In the algebraic expression 2c + 7e + 1, the statements that are true are: e is a coefficient, 2 is a coefficient, and 2c and 1 are like terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following statements are true:

1. Statement A: e is a coefficient
2. Statement B: 2 is a coefficient
3. Statement C: 2c and 1 are like terms

Step-by-step explanation:

A coefficient is a numerical factor that is multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression. In the expression 2c + 7e + 1, both e and 2 are coefficients because they are numbers multiplied by variables (e and c, respectively).

Like terms are terms that have the same variable and exponent. In this expression, 2c and 1 are like terms because they both have the variable c raised to the first power.

Therefore, the correct statements are A, B, and C.
