Question 7 • Grade 7 Mathematics

What are the coefficients in this expression? 6 A minus 3 fourths plus 7 point 5 minus b over 3

Answer
A
negative 3 fourths and 7 point 5
B
negative 3 fourths and negative 1 third
C
6 and negative 3
D
6 and negative 1 third

Explanation

A coefficient is the number multiplying a variable. In 6a, the coefficient of a is 6; in −b/3, the coefficient of b is −1/3. The numbers −3/4 and 7.5 are constants, not coefficients of variables, so the correct choice is 6 and negative 1 third.
