An equation can be broken down into expressions, terms, variables, constants, and coefficients. In the equation 0.4-7x=3, what is/are the constant(s) in the equation?

1 answer

In the equation \(0.4 - 7x = 3\), the constants are the numbers that do not change. They are not multiplied by any variables.

In this equation, the constants are:

  1. \(0.4\)
  2. \(3\)

The term \(-7x\) involves the variable \(x\) and is not a constant. Thus, the constants in the equation are \(0.4\) and \(3\).
