Question

match the part of the expression with its corresponding vocabulary word.
17x + 5
a number, variable, or a number multiplied with a variable
17x + 5
a number without a variable
17x + 5
a number with a variable
a. constant term
b. term
c. coefficient

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first expression part (17x and 5 as terms)

In the expression \(17x + 5\), each part separated by the plus sign is a term. So \(17x\) and \(5\) are terms, matching with "b. term".

Step2: Analyze the second expression part (5 as constant term)

A constant term is a term without a variable. In \(17x + 5\), \(5\) has no variable, so it's a constant term, matching with "a. constant term".

Step3: Analyze the third expression part (17 as coefficient)

The coefficient is the number multiplied by the variable. In \(17x\), \(17\) is multiplied by \(x\), so \(17\) is the coefficient, matching with "c. coefficient".

Answer:

• First part (\(17x\) and \(5\) circled): b. term
• Second part (\(5\) circled): a. constant term
• Third part (\(17\) circled): c. coefficient
