Math Problem Statement

Identify the terms, like terms, coefficients, and constants in the expression 2x+8+x+6 by dragging each item to the appropriate bins.

terms like terms coefficients constants

Solution

Let's break down the expression 2x+8+x+62x + 8 + x + 6 into each of the required categories:

  1. Terms: These are the individual parts of the expression that are added or subtracted.

    • Terms: 2x2x, 88, xx, 66
  2. Like Terms: These are terms that have the same variable(s) with the same exponents.

    • Like Terms: 2x2x and xx (both terms have xx as a variable)
    • Constants 88 and 66 are also like terms as they are both constant values.
  3. Coefficients: These are the numerical parts of the terms with variables.

    • Coefficients: 22 (from 2x2x), 11 (from xx)
  4. Constants: These are terms without any variables.

    • Constants: 88, 66
