Asked by ❄ Snowflake ❄

Identify the coefficient. Be sure to include the sign.
-𝓃 + 8
I chose -𝓃. My answer key says the answer is -1, but I don't understand why.
Answered by Damon
n is a variable name
-1 is a coefficient
-n means -1 n
tricky :)
Answered by ❄ Snowflake ❄
Oh, I see now! Since 𝓃 is a variable, could it be any number? Like could it be -7, for example?
Answered by ❄ Snowflake ❄
And how would you solve it?
Answered by ❄ Snowflake ❄
Never mind my question at 4:08, this is just an expression so it can't really be solved without further context.
Answered by Damon
If n were -7
then -n would be +7
