Which term in the following inequality is a letter coefficient? Bx + 72 < 12

A. x
B. B
C. 72
D. Bx

3 answers

In the inequality \( Bx + 72 < 12 \), the term that is a letter coefficient is:

B. B

In this case, \( B \) is the coefficient of the variable \( x \). The term \( Bx \) as a whole represents a product of the coefficient \( B \) and the variable \( x \), but the specific letter coefficient in this context is the letter \( B \) itself.

are you sure this is correct

Yes, I am sure. In the inequality \( Bx + 72 < 12 \):

  • The term \( Bx \) consists of the coefficient \( B \) (which is a letter) and the variable \( x \).
  • \( 72 \) is a constant.
  • Therefore, the letter coefficient in this context is indeed B (the coefficient of the variable \( x \)).

So the correct answer is B. B.
