We have been given an equation [tex]0.5x - 8 = 1.5[/tex]. We are asked to find the decimal coefficient of the equation.
We know that coefficient of an equation is the number multiplied by variable.
We can see that [tex]-8[/tex] and 1.5 are constants for our given equation.
We can see that variable of our given equation is [tex]x[/tex]. We can also see that [tex]x[/tex] is being multiplied by 0.5, therefore, 0.5 would be the decimal coefficient of our given equation.
