Question

The coefficient of x in 2 + 3x – 2y is:​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at a different expression, 5x2 - 4x + 8. In this expression 5 is the coefficient of x2, -4 is the coefficient of x and 8 is the constant coefficient. Thus the coefficients in 5 x2 - 4 x + 8 are 5, -4 and 8. We most often simplify polynomial before using them but they need not be simplified.

Answer 2

Answer :

The coefficient of x in 2 + 3x - 2y is 3

Coefficient

In mathematics, a coefficient is a multiplicative factor in some term of a polynomial, a series, or any expression; it is usually a number, but may be any expression. In the latter case, the variables appearing in the coefficients are often called parameters, and must be clearly distinguished from the other variables

Hence 3 is the final answer
