The number two in the expression 5 + 2x is called the coefficient of x how does changing the coefficient to 6 change the meaning of the expression

Changing the coefficient of x to 6 changes the meaning of expression as 5 is added to 6 times x

Solution:

Given that number 2 in the expression 5 + 2x is called the coefficient of x

We are asked to find what happens when changing the coefficient to 6 change the meaning of the expression

In the expression,

5 + 2x

This means 5 is added to 2 times x or 5 is added to twice of x

Number 2 is called coefficient of x

When we change this coefficient to 6, the expression becomes,

5 + 6x

So now the meaning of expression becomes,

5 is added to 6 times x

So changing the coefficient of x changes the meaning of expression

the answer is 844

step-by-step explanation:

it is 844 because if you add 836.50 + 7.5 you will get 844

ou would have 12 of each
