Question

use the expression 7.1u − (45 ÷ 9) + 17 to answer 9–10.

1. which part of the expression represents a quotient? describe its parts.
2. which part of the expression represents a product of two factors? describe
3. the part of the expression that represents a product of two factors is 7.1u. (use the operation symbols in the math palette as needed. do not simplify.)

in this product, \\(\square\\) is a variable and \\(\square\\) is the coefficient.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall variable and coefficient

A variable is a symbol (usually a letter) representing an unknown quantity. A coefficient is a number multiplied by a variable.

Step2: Analyze \(7.1u\)

In \(7.1u\), \(u\) is the variable (represents an unknown value), and \(7.1\) is the coefficient (the number multiplying the variable).

Answer:

In this product, \(u\) is a variable and \(7.1\) is the coefficient.
