Advanced Math practice question

Answer: 6

Coefficients divide (12 ÷ 4 = 3) and exponents subtract (5 − 2 = 3): 3x³, so c + n = 6.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 3

3 is each of c and n separately; the question asks for their sum.

If you answered 10

10 uses n = 7 from adding exponents; division subtracts them: 5 − 2 = 3.

If you answered 11

11 uses c = 8 from subtracting coefficients; they divide: 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
