Given:
The expression is
[tex]-5x+4-x-1[/tex]
To find:
The terms, like terms, coefficients and constants.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]-5x+4-x-1[/tex]
It can be written as
[tex]=(-5x)+4+(-x)+(-1)[/tex]
So, terms are [tex]-5x,4,-x,-1[/tex].
It two terms have same variable of same degree, then they are called like terms.
[tex]-5x,-x[/tex] are likes terms because degree of variable is 1 and 4, -1 are like terms because degree of variable is 0.
In the product of a number and a variable, the number is called coefficient.
Variable terms are [tex]-5x,-x[/tex]. So, coefficients are -5 and -1.
Constant terms are free from variable. So, constant terms are 4 and -1.
Terms: [tex]-5x,4,-x,-1[/tex];
Like terms: [tex]-5x, -x;4, -1[/tex];
Coefficients: -5, -1;
Constants: 4, -1
Therefore, the correct option is c.
