which is NOT an algebraic expression? a)- 6r b)- twelve plus b c)- 7/c - 12 d)-nine times four

OpenStudy (math2400):

well do u know the definition of an algebraic expression? It means: expression built up from constants, variables, and a finite number of algebraic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and exponentiation by an exponent that is a rational number). with that in mind can u eliminate some?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is the definition of an algebraic expression - a mathematical phrase which can contain numbers, operators (add, subtract, multiply, divide), and AT LEAST ONE variable (like x, y) to represent operations.

OpenStudy (math2400):

and even if you weren't sure about that, you could look at them all and try to identify what all of the but one has in common

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think the answer is C

OpenStudy (math2400):

good guess but notice it has a variable which is "c" can u find one without a variable? or try to eliminate another one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to be an algebraic expression you need to have a variable the answer is D
