Question

Shelly and Terrence earned points in a game by completing various tasks. Shelly completed x tasks and scored 90 points on each one. The expression below shows Terrence's total points in the game:

90x - 20

What does the constant term of the expression represent?

The total points Terrence earned

The total number of tasks Terrence completed

The sum of Shelly and Terrence's total points

The difference between Shelly and Terrence's total points

Answer 1

The constant term of the expression is -20 because it never changes. This one is a little tricky, cause usually the constant is something like how many you started with, but in his case that's not an answer, so the only reasonable answer is The difference between Shelly and Terrance.
Because the the expression 90x-20 represents the total number Terrance earned.
The total number of tasks Terrence completed is x and the total number Shelly earned would be a positive number.
So it's probably D
