Exploring Expression Parts

A term is a part of an expression separated by + or − signs. A coefficient is the number multiplying a variable. A constant is a number without a variable. For each expression, identify its terms, coefficients, variables, and constants as requested.

Identify the Parts

Write each expression's terms, coefficients, variables, and constants. If a category has no entries, write “none.”

1.For 4r + 6, list the terms, coefficient, variable, and constant.
2.For 8s − 3 + 5t, list the terms, coefficients, variables, and constant.
3.For 11 − 2c + d, name each term, the coefficient of each variable term, the variables, and the constant.
4.For 9u + 4v − 13, list the terms, coefficients, variables, and constant.
5.Which choice gives the coefficients in 7a + 3b − 10?
  • a and b
  • 7 and 3
  • 7, 3, and 10
  • Only 7
6.Select all the constants in 5m + 12 − n + 8.
  • 5
  • 12
  • n
  • 8

Explain Your Thinking

Use complete thoughts and include examples where asked.

7.What information does a coefficient give you in an expression such as 6k?
8.Describe how a variable differs from a constant. Give one example of each.
9.Consider 3p + 8q − 14. How many terms are there? List each term.

Build and Interpret an Expression

Create an expression that meets the stated conditions, then practice describing an expression.

10.Write an expression with at least three terms, two different variables, and one constant.
11.For the expression 4x + 2y + 7, identify its terms, coefficients, variables, and constant.
12.A snack stand sells fruit cups for x dollars each and juice boxes for y dollars each. Write a situation that could be represented by 4x + 2y + 7.
