Question

Complete the Tables

Expression	Term with factor of x	Coefficient of x
$3\mathrm{x}-5$	$3\mathrm{x}$	$3$
$8-\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}$
$2\mathrm{z}-5\mathrm{xz}$

Answer 1

We know that coefficient of $\mathrm{x}$ in $\mathrm{abx}$ is $\mathrm{ab}$.

Using this we can say that the coefficient of $\mathrm{x}$ in $8-\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}$ is $-1$.

We complete the given table:

Expression	Term with factor of $\mathrm{x}$	Coefficient of $\mathrm{x}$
$3\mathrm{x}-5$	$3\mathrm{x}$	$3$
$8-\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}$	$-\mathrm{x}$	$-1$
$2\mathrm{z}-5\mathrm{xz}$	$-5\mathrm{xz}$	$-5\mathrm{z}$
