Solution Steps
Step 1: Understanding Constants in an Expression
In algebra, a constant is a fixed value that does not change. In the expression \(7a + 11b + 8ab\), constants are the numerical coefficients that multiply the variables.
Step 2: Identifying Constants
The expression \(7a + 11b + 8ab\) consists of terms with variables \(a\) and \(b\). The constants are the numbers that multiply these variables:
