Question

Identify the constants in the expression below.

5x - 3y + 2x -15 +2y + 9

Answer 1

First of all a constant is a non-variable which would obviously be a number so in this equation the constants are: 5,3,2,15,2, and 9

Answer 2

The constants are -15 and 9

Explanation:

Constants are those numerical values that will never change, despite the value of x. The easiest way to find them are by finding those numbers that are not affecting x in any way.
