Question

which values in the following expression are coefficients? *
2x + 5p - 25

○ 2, 5, 25

○ 2, 5

○ 2, 25

○ 5, 25

Explanation:

A coefficient is a numerical factor multiplied by a variable in an algebraic term. In the expression $2x + 5p - 25$:

• $2$ is multiplied by variable $x$, so it is a coefficient.
• $5$ is multiplied by variable $p$, so it is a coefficient.
• $25$ is a constant term with no attached variable, so it is not a coefficient.

Answer:

2, 5
