Lol. Coefficient is the number behind a variable.
OP, lemme ask you this question; What is the coefficient of y in that your mathematical expression?

OP, lemme ask you this question;

which y, where you see y

chigoziri2403:
which y, where you see y

I thought you Sabi maths. So you be Olodo. the more you look, the more you see.

My question again, what's the coefficient of y in that expression?

De coefficient of y is 1

dejt4u:

My question again, what's the coefficient of y in that expression?

how many variables are there?

chigoziri2403:

give the question to your maths teacher or superior. Now come back and tell us the answer. It's an assignment for you. I give give you the answer. When you provide the answer, I will tell you whether you are right or wrong.
Believe me, it's a valid question I asked you

no time for trolls ,get busy, when you are serious, lemme know

5x+⁴y-7z(67)⅝ find c, solve this, then I solve yours

chigoziri2403:
no time for trolls ,get busy, when you are serious, lemme know

troll? Tell me you don't know it. Then I can teach you.

I'm a proud teacher. I currently teach mathematics bro. Ain't trolling you. We learn every time and everywhere

chigoziri2403:
5x+⁴y-7z(67)⅝ find c, solve this, then I solve yours

you can't solve for c in this expression but I can tell you categorically that you can still find the value of the coefficient of c in that same expression. That's the fact. Take it or leave it

my brother stop confusing yourself, can you set such question in a standard exam

chigoziri2403:
my brother stop confusing yourself, can you set such question in a standard exam

yes. I set such question in exam for my students in their terminal exams.

Question
What is the coefficient of p in the expression;
2x + 3y?

Answer
Coefficient of p in the expression is zero.
i.e 2x + 3y + 0p
Q.E.D

dejt4u:
yes. I set such question in exam for my students in their terminal exams.

Question
What is the coefficient of p in the expression;
2x + 3y?

Solution
Coefficient of p in the expression is zero.
i.e 2x + 3y + 0p
Q.E.D

the guy ended up being confused..No serious maths student will fail that question,I will advise him to change his course

Tolexander:
You have been confused!
The answer is 2.

2x+6=14 re arrange the equation
2x=14-6 2x=8
divide both aide by 2
x=4

Answer
Coefficient of p in the expression is zero.
i.e 2x + 3y + 0p
Q.E.D

my question above was an equation not an expression
kindly ask same question using my equation

dejt4u:

Question
What is the coefficient of p in the expression;
2x + 3y?

Answer inf
Coefficient of p in the expression is zero.
i. qe 2x + 3y + 0p
Q.E.D

also anything multiplied by zero is 1 which' makes. your equation 2x+3y +1

chigoziri2403:

who taught you maths

chigoziri2403:

kindly ask same question using my equation

stop confusing yourself, he is right.

abbertee:


2x+6=14 re arrange the equation

2x=14-6
2x=8

divide both aide by 2

x=4

the question did not ask for what X is, it asked for the coefficient of X. coefficient is the number beside the letter.
coefficient of X in the equation is 2.

chigoziri2403:
[s]also anything multiplied by zero is 1 which' makes. your equation 2x+3y +1[/s]

I give up on you bro. You are not teachable.
You claimed to be a mathematician and wrote this. Please go back to JSS1 mathematics textbook and read it thoroughly. Do not go beyond New General Mathematics o because you won't be able to comprehend others. NGM is very simple to read.

For your info, anything multiplied by ZERO will still give you ZERO and not 1 as you stated above.

chigoziri2403:
my question above was an equation not an expression
kindly ask same question using my equation

shut up there. All mathematical equations are still expressions. It is just that not all expressions are equations.

You must learn on this thread by fire and by force. Thank God I have the time. Lol

Please mathematicians in the house, can any one in the house help me with the solutions to this questions. I will rely appreciate

abbertee:


2x+6=14 re arrange the equation

2x=14-6
2x=8

x=4

You don't need going through that calculation bro.

The question is more of English than mathematics. Check your dictionary for the meaning of coefficient.

A coefficient is a constant by which a variable is multiplied. The constant which the variable X is multiplied by in that expression, 2X + 6 = 14, is 2

I can't imagine I spent my time on you, I give up
