Question

1. identify the coefficient in the equation $7b + 10 = 25$.

a. 10

b. 7

c. $7b$

d. 25

Explanation:

A coefficient is the numerical factor multiplied by a variable. In the term $7b$, the number 7 is multiplied by the variable $b$, so 7 is the coefficient. The other values: 10 and 25 are constants, and $7b$ is a term, not a coefficient.

Answer:

b. 7
