Question

Can you help me with this problem the equation needs to be shorted Out from the variables, constants, coefficients, terms, and like terms 5x -9 13x - 2y+7+x

Answer 1

Given: The expressions below

$5x-9,13x-2y,7+x$

To Determine: The variables, constants, coefficients, terms, and like terms

Solution

A variable is any entity that can take on different values

The variables are: x and y

$variables:x,y$

A constant does not change its value over time. A variable, on the other hand, changes its value dependent on the equation. Constants are usually written in numbers. Variables are specially written in letters or symbols

The constants are: -9, 7

$constants:-9,7$

coefficients: A coefficient is a constant by which a variable is multiplied

$\begin{gathered} coefficients(x):5,13,1 \\ coefficients(y):-2 \end{gathered}$

Terms

A term is a single mathematical expression. It may be a single number (positive or negative), a single variable ( a letter ), several variables multiplied but never added or subtracted. Some terms contain variables with a number in front of them. The number in front of a term is called a coefficient

$Terms:5x,-9,13x,-2y,7,x$

Like terms

Like terms are terms that have the same variables and powers. The coefficients do not need to match

$\begin{gathered} Like-terms: \\ (x-terms):5x,13x,x \\ (constant-terms):-9,7 \end{gathered}$
