What is the coefficient of q in the sum of these two expressions?

(23q – 34) and (–16q – r)


Sagot :

Answer:

The coefficient of q is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The two expressions are

(23q – 34) and (–16q – r)

and .

(–16q – r)

The sum of the two expressions is

23q - 34 + -16q - r

When we group like terms the expression will be,

=23q - 16q - r - 34

When we  simplify the expression will now be

=7q - r - 34

The coefficient of q is the constant behind q in the expression.

The coefficient of q is therefore 7.
