PLEASE HELP
what is the coefficient in the expression below 2x-8

Answer:
2x - 8
Parts of an equation:
2 - coefficient
x - variable
8 - constant
The number 2 is not a coefficient in the expression. FALSE.
The expression has three terms. FALSE. two terms only: 2x & 8
The variable in the expression is x. TRUE
The number 2 is a constant in the expression. FALSE
The expression has one variable term. FALSE. 2x is term but it's a combination of a number and a letter. Variable term is letter only.
Hello.
The coefficient is the number before a variable (letter)
The constant is also a number.
What's the difference between a constant and a coefficient?
Well, a coefficient is always before a variable, and a constant is just a number (without any variables next to it)
In this case, the variable is x, the number before x is 2, and 8 is the constant.
Therefore, 2 is the coefficient in this expression.
I hope it helps.
Have a nice day.
