Front

What is a coefficient?

Back

A coefficient is a numerical factor in a term of an algebraic expression. For example, in the term 4x, 4 is the coefficient.

Front

What is a variable?

Back

A variable is a symbol used to represent an unknown value in mathematical expressions. For example, in the expression 2x + 3, 'x' is the variable.

Front

What is a constant?

Back

A constant is a fixed value that does not change. For example, in the expression 3x + 5, the number 5 is a constant.
