Answer 1

Let's break down the expression \(9x + 4y - 5\):

1. This expression has 3 terms. (The terms are \(9x\), \(4y\), and \(-5\).)

2. The coefficient of \(x\) is 9. (The coefficient is the number in front of the variable \(x\).)

3. The coefficient of \(y\) is 4. (The coefficient is the number in front of the variable \(y\).)

4. The constant in this expression is -5. (The constant term is the number without a variable, in this case, \(-5\).)

So, filling in the blanks:

• This expression has 3 terms.
• The coefficient of \(x\) is 9.
• The coefficient of \(y\) is 4.
• The constant in this expression is -5.
