@iGreen
OpenStudy (neer2890):
coefficients are the numbers attached with variables.
OpenStudy (igreen):
What @neer2890 said.
So can you figure out how many coefficients there are @Future_UsArmy_MP ?
OpenStudy (igreen):
@neer2890 I'm a little rusty but, does 'c' count as one? Because you can put a 1c right?

well c isn't with a number
OpenStudy (neer2890):
ofcourse, c has a coefficient as 1.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok
OpenStudy (igreen):
1 can ALWAYS be behind a c, but this is a trick question. @Future_UsArmy_MP
OpenStudy (igreen):
Remember, 1 times whatever is always the same. So you can put a 1 before a variable.
Thanks @neer2890

oh ok i see, so how do you find the answer?
OpenStudy (igreen):
You count all the coefficients INCLUDING 'c'.
SO how many are there @Future_UsArmy_MP ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5?
OpenStudy (igreen):
Yes, that's correct. :)
