Help me please! Select all of the coefficients in the expression. −12 +(−5a)+4b+3+6c+d -12 -5 1 1 3 4 6

supie:

You know what a coefficients is?

Noonaaaaaa:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @supie You know what a coefficients is? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) No not really I forgot

supie:

A coefficient is the number before a variable basically for example in 4x+6 `4` would be the coefficient `4`x+6

supie:

You understand?

supie:

A coefficient is the number before the variable so 4x = 4*x (4 times x) So `4` would be the coefficient in `4`x

Noonaaaaaa:

Oh now I understand so 6 and 4?

supie:

Yeah but there is more.

Noonaaaaaa:

No 6 4 1 and 5

supie:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Noonaaaaaa No 6 4 1 and 5 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) no
