1 answer

To determine which option contains two coefficients and three terms, let's analyze each option separately.

Option #1: 2x − 3 = 4 − y

  • The left side has terms: 2x (1 term) and -3 (1 term).
  • The right side has terms: 4 (1 term) and -y (1 term).
  • Total terms = 2 (left) + 2 (right) = 4 terms
  • Coefficients = 2 (from 2x) and -1 (from -y) = 2 coefficients

Conclusion: 4 terms and 2 coefficients.


Option #2: 6 + 7y = 5

  • The left side has terms: 6 (1 term) and 7y (1 term).
  • The right side has 5 (1 term).
  • Total terms = 2 (left) + 1 (right) = 3 terms
  • Coefficients = 7 (from 7y) = 1 coefficient

Conclusion: 3 terms and 1 coefficient.


Option #3: 9x = 1 − 8x

  • The left side has 9x (1 term).
  • The right side has terms: 1 (1 term) and -8x (1 term).
  • Total terms = 1 (left) + 2 (right) = 3 terms
  • Coefficients = 9 (from 9x) and -8 (from -8x) = 2 coefficients

Conclusion: 3 terms and 2 coefficients.


Based on this analysis, Option #3: 9x = 1 − 8x contains two coefficients and three terms.

So, the correct answer is:

Option #3.
