Jill simplified the expression shown.


4x – 2y – x + 5y – 8


What is the coefficient of the x-term of the fully simplified expression?


3

4

6

8

Verified Answer :

The answer is 3 because 4x-x=3x

Answer:

In the given expression the coefficient of x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jill simplified the expression shown

\(4x-2y-x+5y-8\)

we have to find the coefficient of the x-term of the fully simplified expression.

Expression:

\(4x-2y-x+5y-8\)

Combining like terms, we get

\(4x-x-2y+5y-8\)

\(3x+3y-8\)

Hence, in the above expression the coefficient of x is 3
