equation 4x + y + 6z + 12.

Question

hey im trying to get the answer and or find out what is the constant in this equation 4x + y + 6z + 12.

Answer 1

As already stated by Jacob and Brenda in this expression the constant will be the value that will never change. In the expression above you have 4x, y, 6z, and 12. We know that the terms that contain letters will change because the letters stand for variables. Variables can be any number. We use letters to represent this because we don't know what these numbers are yet. For example, 4x which is also (4*x) could be 4*2 if we were to replace the x with a 2. It could also be replaced with a 3, a 4, a 5, and so on. That means the term 4x can turn into a totally different number once we know the value of x. The same applies to the other terms "y" and "6z". The only term that doesn't have a letter attached to it is the term we consider constant. We consider it constant because its value will not be changed by anything in the expression. The number 12 will always be 12 in this expression. So 12 would be the constant. Please let me know if you need any more help on this.

Answer 2

The constant in the equation 4x +y + Z+ 12 is 12.

x, y and z are variables
