Question

Jill simplified the expression shown.4x – 2y – x + 5y – 8What is the coefficient of the x-term of the fully simplified expression?3468

Answer 1

When you simplify that expression by combining like terms you will get 3x+3y-8.  The coefficient on the x-term is 3.

Answer 2

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jill simplified an expression

$4x-2y-x+5y-8$

We have to find the coefficient of x-term of the fully simplified expression

In order to find the coefficient of x- term we will rearrange the terms

Rearrange the terms and we get

$4x-x-2y+5y-8$

$3x-2y+5y-8$

$3x+3y-8$

Coefficient of x -term =Constant value multiply with x

Constant value multiplied with x term =3

Hence, the coefficient of x-term =3
