The number in front of the variable is called the coefficient
the coefficient
A number, multiplied by a variable is part of an Algebraic equation. A person can find out the value of the variable if they divide each side by the number that is next to the variable. For example, if the equation is 5x = 60, divide each side by 5 and the answer is x = 12.
If the variable x represents the number: 5x + 3ParenthesesExponentsMultiplyDivideAddSubtractAlways remember this
Possibly, a "constant term".
The number in front of the variable is called the coefficient
the coefficient
if you mean something like 5x, where 5 is the number and x is the variable, the 5 is called a coefficient.
A number without a variable. Ex.) 5 is a constant, 5x is not.
A number, multiplied by a variable is part of an Algebraic equation. A person can find out the value of the variable if they divide each side by the number that is next to the variable. For example, if the equation is 5x = 60, divide each side by 5 and the answer is x = 12.
The coefficient
5x 5 is the coefficient and x is the variable.
Such a number is called a "constant". If the number appears in front of a variable, it is sometimes called a "coefficient".
There are an infinite number of answers... you need one variable to find the other.
