Find the Leading Coefficient 2*4+3y

$2 \cdot 4 + 3 y$

Step 1

Simplify the polynomial, then reorder it left to right starting with the highest degree term.

Multiply $2$ by $4$ .

$8 + 3 y$

Reorder $8$ and $3 y$ .

$3 y + 8$

Step 2

The leading term in a polynomial is the term with the highest degree.

$3 y$

Step 3

The leading coefficient in a polynomial is the coefficient of the leading term.

$3$
