Question

The expression represents the cost of Janelle’s cell phone bill, where m represents the number of minutes of use.

0.05m + 12

What is the constant in the expression?


0.05m

m

12

0.05

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

0.05m + 12

0.05 is the coefficient of m variable

Answer 2

12 would be the constant.

This is because:

1. it doesn't change regardless of minutes used. If you use 1,000 minutes or if you uses 3 minutes you will still have to pay those $12 therefore it is a consistent

2. because it fulfills the requirement to be a "constant". The requirement is that it is a number without any variables attached to it. It is standing on its own.  

Hope this helped!
