To be clear i don't want the flat out answer i want help on how to solve it . Amelia makes $8 per hour at her job and then earns an additional $15 for every tablet she sells. She uses the expression 8h + 15t to keep track of her earnings. Part A: Identify the coefficients and variables in the expression. (3 points) Part B: How many terms are in the expression, what are they, and how do you know? (4 points) Part C: Which term in the expression shows the total earned for tablets sold? (3 points)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so part b is easiest to begin. how many separate terms are there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8h+15t and not sure actually. I haven't done this awhile , sorry !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so each thing separate by a positive, negative, multiplication or division sign. so here it would be 8h is one term and 15t is the second term so there are two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay i get that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool. so next is part a, identify coefficients and variables. coefficients are the numbers and variables are the letters, so can you figure out what they are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8, and 15 are the coefficients and variables are h,t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for part c, we decide the total earned for tablets sold. so it tells you that the $8 is how much is made regularly, so the $15 is the amount earned for each tablet. understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool. let me know if you need any help for more :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

opps nvm i got it ! Thank you so much !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem!
