For the expression 6 − y + 3, determine the coefficient for the variable term.

−1
0
3
6

When you have a letter, y, the number in front of it is your coefficient. In this case, your coefficient would be negative one, since there is no number there. the equation technically means 6-1y+3. If you don't see a number in front of y, always assume the coefficient is 1.

The answer is Associative property of multiplication
