Question

What are the coefficients of X in the expression 8 - X + Y ?
A) 1 B) -1 C) 8 D) none of these.

Answer 1

Given,

An Expression 8 - X + Y.

To find,

The coefficient of X in expression 8 - X + Y.

Solution,

• The number multiplied by a variable can be defined as the coefficient of a variable. For example, if we multiply constant 8 with a variable x then we get 8x where 8 can be called as the coefficient of x.

• In the expression 8 - X + Y, we can see that X is multiplied by a constant value of -1.

• Similarly, 1 is the coefficient of Y as Y is multiplied by a constant value of 1.

Hence, -1 is the coefficient of X in equation  8 - X + Y.

Answer 2

Answer:

the number multiplied by a variable for example if we multiply constant 8 with the variable x then we get 8x where 8 can be variable of coefficient of x
