Answer :

Answer:

Variable:  [tex]s[/tex]

Coefficient: 2

Terms:  [tex]2s[/tex] and 2.79.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Karen writes the algebraic expression [tex]2s+2.79[/tex] to represent the cost of his lunch. He bought 2 sandwiches and a large drink. We are asked to identify any variables, coefficients, and terms in the expression.      

We know that variable is a symbol for a number that we need to figure out. Upon looking at our given expression, we can see that [tex]s[/tex] is a variable.

We also know that a coefficient is the number that is being multiplied with the variable. We can see that 2 is being multiplied by  [tex]s[/tex] , therefore, 2 is coefficient.

The terms of our given expression are [tex]2s[/tex] and 2.79, where [tex]2s[/tex] represents cost of 2 sandwiches and 2.79 represents cost of large drink.
