Answer 1

Answer:

Coefficients:  6, 1, -2

Variables:  x, y

Constants:   32

Step-by-step explanation:

Before identifying the coefficients, variables, and constants of the given algebraic expression, 6x + y + 32 - 2x, we must first define the required vocabulary terms.

Definitions:

• A term is a number (or constant ), a variable, or a product or quotient of a number and one or more variables raised to powers.

• A term may comprise of a numerical coefficient (or simply referred to as coefficient) that is multiplied with a variable—a symbol or a letter that is used to represent an unknown number.

• A constant is a fixed, unchanging number.  

Explanations:

6x + y + 32 - 2x

In the folllowing terms:

• 6x:  The coefficient is 6, multiplied with the variable, x.

•   y:   The coefficient is 1, multiplied with the variable, y.

• 32:  This is a constant, as its value does not change.

• -2x:  The coefficient is -2, multiplied with the variable, x.

Answers:

Coefficients:  6, 1, -2

Variables: x, y

Constants: 32
