Can someone plz explain :)

Answer 6

variables are expressions that change

example: x is a variable because it can take on numbers like 2, 7, 139, etc

something like 2, without any variables, is a constant because it never changes: it's always 2

Answer 7

yeah a constant is the # without any variables.

Answer 8

so in something like 2x+3y + 10

x and y are the variables
2x and 2y are the variable monomials

and 10 is the constant because 10 never changes

Answer 9

2x and 3y are the variable monomials*
