Question

4x - 7 = 5 .
label the parts of the equation.

constant. variable. coefficient. operator

Answer 1

In the equation \(4x - 7 = 5\), we can label the parts as follows:

1. **Variable**: \(x\)
- This represents an unknown value.

2. **Coefficient**: \(4\)
- This is the number that multiplies the variable \(x\).

3. **Constant**: \(-7\) and \(5\)
- \(-7\) is a constant on the left side of the equation.
- \(5\) is a constant on the right side of the equation.

4. **Operator**: \(-\) and \(=\)
- The \(-\) is the subtraction operator between \(4x\) and \(-7\).
- The \(=\) is the equality operator, indicating that the left side of the equation is equal to the right side.

So the labeled parts are:
- Variable: \(x\)
- Coefficient: \(4\)
- Constants: \(-7\) (left side), \(5\) (right side)
- Operators: \(-\) and \(=\)
