In which option will the coefficient of (x) become (0) after simplification?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(7x-7x+3\)
In option B, \(7x-7x+3=(7-7)x+3=3\). Therefore, the coefficient of \(x\) is \(0\). In option A the coefficient is \(2\), and in option C it is \(3\). Exam tip: while combining like terms, add or subtract the coefficients of the \(x\)-terms.
