TURITO CLASSES

ALGEBRA BASICS

1. Separate, constants and variables from the following:

5, 6z, -12x, 7/5, 3/4xz, mn, 2p, 0, 3x/4, 7/12k, -pt/2m, 1/2

2. State whether the following statements are true or false:

(i) 12 is a constant and z is a variable but 12z is variable.

(ii) 7 is constant and p is variable but together 7 + p is a variable.

3. Fill in the blanks:

(i) In -3x, _____ is constant and _____ is variable.

(ii) In 10ab, _____ is constant and _____ are variables.

(iii) In 15mn/k, _____ is constant and _____ are variables.

(iv) In 27a/8b, _____ are constants and _____ are variables.

4. 91y + 5, find the constants.

5. 32m + 9n, find the variables.
