(a) 4x – 3 y

(b) 8 – x + y

(c) y2
x- y

​

Answer 1

Answer:

• 4x - 3y ;  the coefficient of x is 4.
• 8 - x + y; the coefficient of x is -1
• x - y ; the coefficient of x is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A coefficient is an integer that is written along with a variable or it is multiplied by the variable. In other words, a coefficient is the numerical factor of a term containing constant and variables.

a) 4x - 3y ;  the coefficient of x is 4.

b) 8 - x + y; the coefficient of x is -1

c) x - y ; the coefficient of x is 1.
