Solution:
Given that:
Consider the expression below
9 + 4(x + 2) – 3x
We have to select the term that best describes "3" in the given expression
In given,
9 + 4(x + 2) – 3x
3 is multiplied with x
Which means, 3 is multiplied with a variable "x"
Hence, 3 is called coefficient
When a term consists of a constant multiplied by a variable, that constant is called a coefficient
In 3x, 3 is called coefficient
